    There is a comparable story on this side of the pond -- WWII Wildcat fighters being fished out of Lake Michigan;
    One is on display in Chicago's O'Hare airport and is beautifully displayed:

    Several years ago the lost squadron was exhumed from the ice in Greenland. Glacier Girl is one of the P-38s that has been resurrected.

    And for those Spitfire fans, you may be happy to learn about the Pickled Spitfires in Burma:

    I never realized they actually found the spitfires! I thought it was just a bunch of hype but digging found nothing. I'm really glad you posted that link, thank you!
