Whilst I cannot answer your reg / serial number query Barry, I started looking on Google Earth to find where this place that you refer to, may be.
 
Quartzite AZ on 'West Main Event Lane' just north of west bound exit of J 17 on the I –10 there is what seems to be remains of a dirt strip with a very extensive area of scrapped cars boats and lots of RV s and a few planes thrown in.
 
Whilst I don't' know if is this place that you saw the Learjet and US Army Beech that you refer to, at this quite large scrapping area is a what I would guess is an ex US Navy Banshee or a Panther and a Baron right close by and further north up the 'runway' is possibly 2 x Beech 18's remains and a couple of other airframes scattered elsewhere, sadly of which I cannot identify their types from a satellite photo image. 
 
So again maybe somebody can know the IDs of these as well please.
 
So super sleuths anybody able to help,          Paul

Driving  along the I-10 freeway sunday toward LA I saw around 4 or 5 aircraft sitting in a remote sandy area just passed exit 17 for Quartzite. One of these was a Learjet and a US Army Beech (Travel Air)....has anbody out got any I/D's for all these aircraft and the US Army UH-1 on the Phoenix bound side of the I-10 which sits on top of an old truck!
 
Any help would be great!!
 
Cheers,
 
Barry
