Though unrelated to our hobby, as there has been a lot of interest in airplanes both on line and off, I wanted to inform those that a documentary will be airing on March 3rd on the History Channel. This is in regards to the P-38s and B-17s that were found several hundred feet under an icecap in, I believe, Greenland several years ago.

The P-38 (now aptly named Glacier Girl) was recovered and restored to flying condition and the entire process and history will be aired next month. If any of you recall a National Geographic special several years ago about this recovery venture, it documented how the planes were located, a water bore was made to access them and then they were taken apart and lifted to the surface. More can be seen on www.thelostsquadron.com

Just thought I would mention it for those interested. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/flag.gif[/img]
