That's really cool! I wonder how true the statement that they were able to fire the engine after a few minor repairs is?

**One Sweet Day** · 04-21-2008, 08:32 PM

wow. thats really amazing.

That was really interesting. The tank was remarkably well preserved for being submerged for 60 years.

Heres a link to another interesting WWII find-a P38 Lightning fighter that crashed landed in Greenland in 1942, was buried under 250' of ice, and flew again, 60 years later. This is pretty cool.

It's takes a small fortune and 25 hr's a day 8 days a week to restore a war bird!
I had a hand in restoring this F4U-G Corsair in the 80's at Zelienople airport..
