I thought it was a 109 :) "Amazed" is an understatement. The guy seemed almost perfectly intact, and still had color in his skin. I think the pilot pictured at the bottom of the page is the same individual who's body was recovered. Am I correct in assuming that he was entombed in mud? I can't imagine any type of wet environment preserving remains like that. Kind of morbid, but a phenomenal study.
