Nearly 8000 aircraft flew from the U.S. to Russia, some force landing on frozen lakes and then sinking in the Spring thaw. I always wondered if there was a designated route that was followed and if the "landing" sites are very well documented.

Yep, there must be quite a number lying around there (like the Hampden below, from Russia), and I would think also in the North African deserts, like the P-40 found recently.

now this one really intrigues me....how the hell did someone ditch like this....and it doesnt look like it was pushed off of a cliff above. only thing i can think of is the land was cleared when the plane was flying and it was pushed off of the end of a runway which has since grown over....or its photoshopped
