Makes you wonder what other aircraft are well preserved underwater waiting to be recovered.

The actual planes many times have more details than we are used to in movies or flight sims. Even more with less know types such as the Japanese.

we would all be amazed if we knew that. think of the sheer number of planes that went down! all the fresh water lakes in europe and russia...norway...finland...hell, the great lakes in the us...and not to mention the far east and japan all could hold treasures like that. the further down and colder the better too. it would be fun just to hunt for them!
