I think you're right lads, money grabbers out to get what they can, $5000 to raise it from a lake? unless they're all proficient divers I think that's a bit hopeful myself, if they were that desparate to get it like most of us anoraks would be with a plane in a lake you'd club together and get a bank loan, not cry for help on Barnstormers. What's more $300k is a little on the optimistic side for the value of the airframe, they haven't even raised it yet and we all know what can go wrong bringing silt laden a/c to the surface. Good luck to 'em that's what I say but whatever they do I hope they don't bungle it. Now, thinking about it, wasn't a certain Mr. Larkins after a P-39 in a lake around there????? Hmmmm fishy to say the least and I'm not talking about the trout swimming around this P-39 either ;)
