The person who posted the video made a comment (in june apparently?) that A+T recovered it? I know this video was posted sometime in march on this board, I didn't see in that thread whether the aircraft was recovered. I was wondering if this happened and I've just been out of the loop? Is this incorrect/wishful thinking, or should I break out a bottle of champagknee? Stow the bottle? Maybe i'm just lookin for an excuse on a friday night?

Those are photos of the Helldiver recovery not the Devestator

Not yet as far as I am aware.

Found the pilots family which was good.

I think I see the source of the confusion .. the previous comment in the YouTube thread mentioned that there were no TBDs above water, but that there is an SB2U from Lake Michigan at the museum in Pensacola. "Salvor1" (Taras, I believe) then signed on to add that "A&T recovered it" (meaning the Vindicator, not the Devastator).

Whoops! That would be a No!
