There is still wreckage in the local mountains in the USA. Heck,
there is even a complete B-29 at the bottom of a popular recreational

anyone trying to remove what they now own. Heck, they won't even allow
folks to do recreational dives on that B-29! They even post signs on
the mountain wreckage letting you know how much it upsets them when you
remove parts from their wreckage.



Uhh, the Lake Mead B-29 is in 260 feet of water. Thats far beyond the
depth of a "recreational" diver.

True, but it doesn't change the way the Lake Mead officials feel about
it. I guess it depends on your definition of "recreational." Besides,
with the way water levels keep dropping from draught, it's just a matter
of time before you can wade out to it and dance on the wings! ( Now,
don't take this seriously. This is known as sarcasm.)
