That plane looks in pretty good shape for that long under water.
Back in the early 90s I made a couple rides to a crashed B-29. I still have a few bits I picked up at the crash site.

Yeah, aside from being encrusted with fresh water barnicles/mussels and full of mud it did hold up pretty well. That aluminum is practically impervious in fresh water.

That's cool. Remeber the the P38 Lighting they dug out of a glacier years ago?

Cool story. I enjoy reading that kind of thing.

When I start finding old tin with sonar, in 300 feet of water I will be the Jacque Cousteau of hot rodding.
