Pretty impressive that it is still pretty much pristine after all this time, they'll have to be quick if they hope to salvage it though seen as locals have already been scavanging it since its location was revealed... |

The title of that article is rather silly, it's hardly the same as Tutankhamuns tomb! |

Its similar to the story of the "Lady be good" which was found in the desert in the late 50's, although that one also has some supernatural stories surrounding it too, namely parts that were salvaged from it and fitted to other aircraft, only for them to crash later. The story of the armrest being the most spooky! (dont believe in ghosts myself, but the stories are still interesting) |

Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Oh wow, this is a cool find! Being the fan of planes in general that I am (especially war time planes), this is really cool. It would be nice to see it restored and put on display somewhere as it most certainly deserves to be. |

Imagine how much cool shit is still sitting out there and buried beneath the sand. |

What really interests me is the German equipment still sat out in remote forests and buried in swamps in Russia that is yet to be discovered, I bet there is hordes out there somewhere. I read the other day that they are still finding and re-burying 40,000 German soldiers a year on Russian soil. Much is talked about the battles the allies fought in France, Holland, Italy etc, but our entire effort was small compared to the utter carnage on the eastern front | ||||||||||||

That T-34/76 with German markings was found in an Estonian swamp and the diesel engine was still opperating. In fact, they drove it, once it was cleaned up and a few minor repairs were completed. | ||||

Every few months, I like to check terra server and google earth and investigate what Davis Monthan has sitting out..lots of F-16s lately, must be in the process of being mustered out in favor of the F-22. |
