Here in Louisville on the dirty Ohio river, a small plane went into the Ohio
right at the water company
pumping station back in the late 70's, the plane and pilot were never found. a
seat cushion was all that was
recovered. many people saw the plane hit the power lines at that location, and
saw the plane go into
the water, in daylight. nothing has ever been found after all these years.
on the the B-25 story, I found 7 more high-res closeup shots of the B-25
posted on one of the binary
USENET groups. there is a LOT of corrosion on the Aluminum parts, and all
ferric parts are total rust.
the guns in the upper turret are one mass of rust, complete with telescope
gunsight.
