In one of the last issues of Pacific Fishing there's an article about them finding a ww2 sub (uss grunian (sp?) off of Adak island. The son of someone on the sub chartered the F/V Aquilla to go looking, and after two years they found it.

Not a plane, but recent, ww2, and the pacific...  ;)

I think it is spelled Grunion. The sons of the skipper had been researching for years, and searching for a couple of years when they thought they figured out where it was. They eventually got sonar images, and then finally a photos from an unmanned vehicle.

She's not one of the women on my last flight to Chicago who looked at the cloud shadows on Lake Michigan and asked with a totally straight face "Are those whales?" is she?

Treize (pronounced 'trays')- because 'Treisprezece' is too long and even harder to pronounce.

Didn't hear about it, but I bet 68Donkey was the one who crashed it there.

You know I use the term "LoL" rather liberally but I rarely actually laugh out loud.  This is on of those rare instances. :lol

Just watched the Donkey film, the internets made me lol twice in 15 minutes.  Pretty good day except that I was eating while watching the film, and long after Donkey was down Russheim busted out one last "mayday" and I almost choked while laughing.
