What a bummer. My great uncle flew them during WWII doing sub patrols off the East Coast.

CUT!! Get me Re-Write!!!

Cage movies can be very costly to make.

Just watched Con Air take the Vegas strip out.

GOD bless those lost that fateful day in the Pacific.

Destroyed??? Hardly. I’ve seen far worse wrecks restored to better than new condition.

We had 2 of those here at KWHP a few years back, they were being restored, and they flew regularly. I would bet this is one of them.

This happened in June of 2015, and the airplane was successfully recovered.
