For some time now i wanted to check this site out, and since i have been a jobless susy homemaker for the past couple of weeks i decided i had the free time, so i saddled up and went. In 1942 a B18 bomber crashed on Mt. Waternomee outside of Lincoln, NH. IIRC 5 out of the 7 crew members were ok, and walked away :eek: . It was kind of cool because the engines were all torn up so some cylinders were missing the head, some were a bit torn up, and some were completely intact. The landing gear had taken out a huge *** maple tree too, that was neat, and leading up to that was a huge debris field with melted metal, pieces of the airframe and all of the rocks had huge gouges in them from the landing gear bouncing off them. Heres pics:
