well i'm sure most of you guys seen it.but i watched the history channel today about how they dug this thing out from under 250 ft. of ice.and spent almost 10 years to restore the 38.have to tell ya when this plane lifted of the ground with over 1000 people watching it was awesome.brought a tear to my eyes .almost makes you wanna learn how to fly the damn thing.
