I think it is far easier to get over the unhappiness caused by criticism if it is constructive than it is to get over finding out that – having said that it’s nice – finding out that they reallyhated it all along

I agree after all people can all be nice about your work to your face and slag it off when you not there,Someone was bound to tell him at sometime anyway.I did not see any comments that were offensive either.

The final cost of Glacier Girl was somewhere over 6 million USD, including recovery etc.

Can they really justify the expenditure of getting them out??

I suppose there will be some economy of scale, but these will be a very expensive restoration project….

What is the current market value of a P38? – I reckon no more than $2m in airworthy trim.

Bruce

I think when it comes down to such rare airframes and the possibilty of owning a flyable aircraft which is a high percentage original then the value goes up,Besides if they are willing to spend there money this way good luck to them,its their money or there backers money.There may not be another chance to retrieve these aircraft and i would rather see sometime in the future that another p38 has taken to the air somewhere than to hear these Aircraft are no longer possible to retrieve.
