Scott,

I suspect that Google Earth will face a considerable slow down as hundreds log on to search the Everglades for that B-25! It will indeed be fascinating though, if we're able to find out what became of the wreck. I too would suspect it is long gone - cut up and transported out or smelted on site.

All indications would suggest the airplane will be reassembled as it had once lay in the New Guinea swamp to create a static display diorama. Based on the condition of the airplane, this is probably the best outcome for the airframe. Attempting to restore it would destroy its historic value as most of the structure would have to be replaced in the process.

Good to hear the likely decision! :D
