Why has the pilot not been recovered? That seems sad to me.

I'd be willing to bet the MIA people know of this wreck and the fact that the pilot is still there. If it were my Dad/brother I'd want him left there. IMHO..what greater honor than to be "buried" with so many other brave men?

That Wellington appears to be very intact and in excellent shape. Anybody know where it is? It's not the one recovered from Loc Ness, is it?
