wunwinglow Posted May 10, 2015 Share Posted May 10, 2015 If the Navy dumped them, I would presume they didn't want them...... If I throw something away, that's it! Gone! Out of my life!! Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Read the Smithsonian article, "Whose Planes Are They, Anyway?" http://bbs.hitechcreations.com/smf/index.php?action=printpage;topic=330514.0 The Navy has your unlimited tax dollars to fight salvors from bringing up anything without their permission. It is my understanding that anyone looking to recover a Navy plane has to prove they are a museum with the means to restore the plane, that the plane is one that the Navy already has in their collection, and that the salvor isn't just looking to recover the plane to make a filthy profit (even tho', yunno, profit is what drives business and makes it possible to do stuff.) Regarding the planes featured in this cool thread, I'd guess none of them are rare enough to justify a salt water recovery and restoration.

In 1945 the USAAF and the NAVY have scraped thousands of good state and sometimes very rare aicraft. And now, if you find one (even one of those they've scraped 70 years ago), you cant keep it, whatever you want to do with it.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My children 3 and 5 years old act about the same way.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
