Yes, crash records would be nice, and if you have them video, pics or SAT images as well.

The Navy was offered the "San Diego Brewster" back in 1998 by a salvor
who would raise her for $20k..and would raise a P-38 for an additional
$10k which was in the same area. Guess the Navy decided later the
Russians offered a better deal? Shocked

So yet another "possible" pattern-ship Buffalo continues to rot....


98, Heck the Navy found it back in 1989 when they where looking for a F-14 that went down. I recall that the US Navy West Coast Salavge crew brought back some nice video of her and heres the kicker folks this aircraft still has the pilot on board. The Navy didn't even think about recovering it even thou federal law requires them to recover all MIAs. Oh well what do you expect from NHC anyways.

RER,

Has JAPAC been made aware of this? Do you have access to the video?

I understand Gary Villard received 3 Lockheed P-3 Orion's in trade for the Buffalo. Any one have an idea where the P-3's went?
