Wow, some amazing stories there, thanks for sharing.  Add a hike to a wreck to my list of things to do in Alaska.

What a neat website.

Supposedly, there are some remote crashes in the Black Hills in South Dakota.  The USAAF used Conata Basin to the east of the Black Hills as a practice range prior and during to WWII.

Lots in Newfoundland/Labrador, Northern Ontario, the Northern Prairie provinces, and Nunavut especially up here in Canada. If you're lucky you'll find one  waaaay up on Baffin Isle.

I wish people would use the wish list forum to post their brilliant ideas, and be smart enough to not post all their stupid ones.

But I am under no disillusions of my wish ever being fulfilled.

I'm sure ordnance disposal from Ellsworth AFB would be out to that property in a heartbeat if they were notified.   :aok 

or else... just stand back 100 yards or so and try and set it off yourself with a rifle.  It might be a fun day of shooting.   :D

VERY BAD ADVICE :( the depending on the size etc... the blast / fragments could kill you at that range!

A bit offtopic, but from the north side, the Danes just dug up a He-219 "Uhu". http://www.thelocal.de/national/20120426-42183.html

You can actually find some photos of the wreck, here are some if this link works: iltasanomat.fi (the article is in Finnish, but there are some pictures).
