The Aeroplane Mine is located near Bishop, CA. It is one of several mines in the area which all have unusual names. The Aeroplane Mine was a tungsten mine. The mine's claim expired in the late 1980s, and the U.S. Forest Service finally obtained funding in 2004 to clean up the mine site. Unfortunately, this included razing the existing buildings and installing gates at all the mine entrances. Other adits were filled with foam plugs.
