FM-2 Recovery – Lake Michigan 7.12.12

Hi

A FM-2 ‘Wildcat’ is being recovered at 10am central time (4pm UK time) at Waukegan marina. Four of the local stations will be covering it live (possibly some with helicopter and live reports on the ground).

Should be able to see it somewhere from 3pm UK time onwards.

Lake Michigan must be pretty inhospitable at that depth – there’s nothing growing on it at all. I guess it’s pretty cold and dark?
