Both images are at the Mérida (Yucatan) airport in Mexico.

This looks like a glider:

These look kind of like AWACS A/C:

I think the glider-like plane is actually a Russian-built transport, The Antonov AN-26 or something similar:

Your other plane isn't visible in the link you provided. Could you repost?

Looks like a crashed plane in the woods a few hundred meters south of the main apron.

I've spotted six planes in the woods. Crashed or junked? ¿Quien sabe?
Thanks for looking. BTW, there's a cargo plane on the SE corner of this pad:

skyeye,

Take a look at the same area in Google Maps . It's not exactly the same view, but one plane is similar to one in the Bing view. With the sharper imagery, it looks to me like a small civilian jet.
