Wrong Sir the name of the thread is called “Lake Mead B-29 Recovery Discussion” if anyone in this thread I have the most knowledge of said airframe and its outcome hence there is no discussion on this airframe. As I stated in my last post BLM has made there case and while I certainly don’t agree with it I have to live with it because they own allot of land that has allot of different airframes on them including US Naval airframes and I rather not PO them since I want to maybe recover a few of these airframes.
As for other airframes in this thread the only other airframe that is a B-29 brought up was Doc by Peter who was stating he would like to see it it rebuild before another very wrecked 29 is recovered.
As for me policing the board please get a grip sir the only thing I’ve done is stated that there is no reason to have this discussion because of the FACTS.
As for Wixs correct but what both Dave and I were pointing out is that there is already at least one discussion on this on Wixs along with at least one on Flypast maybe you should try using the Search on Flypast then.
To make it simple end of discussion that airframe won’t be recovered not by me nor you or anyone else unless the President of the United States give his/hers permission. Now if that doesn’t sit with you then may I suggest you move to the States become an American Citz. and then complain to your elective officials till then lets move on to airframes that can/could be recovered. Surely you must have some in your Country correct.
Wow…
So the fact its been talked about before means we can’t talk about it again? End of discussion? I don’t think so… Not for a long time. If this were the case, your mission to get the US Navy to change its policy would have only been talked about once a few years ago.
Take a look and most of us on here know how to use the search facility. What usually happens is it hits off our curiosity, making us post again to find out if things have changed. The people who make rules don’t stay in office forever. I’m sure you will have found, as have I, that as different people come and go things that were thought to be impossible sometimes become easier.
If you truly believe this is impossible then I feel kind of sorry for you. Dare to dream – or risk being boring forever.
For a hypothetical recovery… I’m liking the idea of filling the tanks with something like foam.
As for touching the Lake Mead aircraft – I was under the impression that diving on it was prohibited, and you had to be some kind of mega qualified diver with special equipment…
