the weather channel has a video on the NJ T2V wreck

I was checking the weather when I noticed a video on the weather channel site on the NJ T2V wreck site. Neat! I called the local town a year ago about the wreck, and the wreck is a local landmark. People regularly visit the wreck, and it even brings in tourists! :shock:

FWIW....me thinks the pic and video are two different airframes (wrecks). The vid shows the wings on.....the pic wings off. One in a field, one in the deep woods.
