Here is the list of old planes I have. I would like to find someone with deep pockets and who loves old planes who will help fund both the recoveries and restoration. Please spread the word.

1. 2 WW2 Corsairs off San Diego in the ocean. Shallow
2. Brewster Buffalo in a certain lake in USA
3. Amphibious British WW2 plane in a certain English lake. A Sunderland. Kermit Weeks has one at his air museum in Fl.
4. PBY in Lake Mead
5. P-38 off San Diego in 130 ft. of water
6. 5 SBD's in South Pacific in brachish water. Eye witness told me about them going down.
7. Japanese Zero in Solomons on land and in Indonesia in jungle
8. 2 P-38's in indonesia near shore and can be seen from air.
9. P-66 in San Francisco Bay
10. F5 in a Montana lake
11. F5 on my island of Navassa west indies.
12. A Beaver in a certain British Colombia, Canada lake
13. Possible Brewster Buffalo in a California lake
14. B-29 bomber in Lake Mead I found years ago with side scan sonar. (problems with Nat. Park Svc)
15. "Black Sheep Squadron" pilot from WW2 recently gave me locations of SBD's, Corsairs and Zeros.
16. WW1 British Sopwith Struders in a river in Scotland sitting on the worlds first aircraft carrier which launched planes at sea.

I am told that the SD aero space museum bought a P-39 or 40 from a fisherman out of san diego. It was in 1000 ft. of water. Now, it is totally restored. I write books about this kind of stuff but I have never recovered an airplane. It has always been ancient shipwrecks and their possible treasures.

I am negotiating with several TV production companies who produce for The History Channel and Discovery
Channel networks about creating a series about me and my team searching for and recovering old aircraft. I will host the show.

My phone is 760 468 1240

Thanks,

How would a Buffalo get into a Canadian lake? Well, if it was the animal, easy. If it was the Brewster beastie, then it'd be VERY lost. Not a RCAF type, nor one that ever passed through Canada, as far as I've ever heard.

I think there is one location missed in this discussion.
I know where there are several hundred Japanese aircraft (Vals, Kates and Zeroes) AND 4 Japanese Carriers at the bottom of a certain ocean.

Every time I see a documentary on Midway that show Zeros etc. ditching after their carriers were sunk I almost salivate...you know they are still down there. Now all you have to do is find one and bring it up, in one piece.....too bad they're 3 or 4 miles down.
