Interesting Warbird documentary
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] Rick

Re: Interesting Warbird documentary
If any of you guys or gals happen to be going through TN on I-75 you need to stop in and check out the P-38. The airport where it is located is about 45 minutes north of Knoxville and is easy to get to. They have done an outstanding job of restoring this airplane and their display area is full of neat artifacts.

Re: Interesting Warbird documentary
Thanks for the heads up!
I am circling that date. I always wished I taped the Glacier Girl segment on Nova years ago.I enjoyed the B-29 segment they showed recently.Such a shame the outcome of the whole B-29 story.All for not,and a life lost....

Re: Interesting Warbird documentary
I took a tour around a bomber a few years ago here in the Chicago area at Palwaukee airport.... It was called Sentimental Journey and I think it was a Lancaster type bomber...I think my wife finally threw out the t-shirt after 5 years or so....nose art looked like Marilyn Monroe if I remember correctly...
