Crew Needed for Documentation of Wrecked WII Bomber.
The bird, recently named "The Swamp Ghost" took of from Hickam Field Tuesday Febuery 25 1941, and crashed later that night along the north western Summet of Waimanu Valley. The plane (and crew) landed intact, and two days later were rescued via the Kohala ditch trail. The plane however has remained. To date it is one of the two best preserved and least accessed WII wrecks in the world. It is my intention to hike to the bomber from Waimanu Valley and document it's current condition. I have the exact GPS coordinates of the bird. The trail has recently been cleared 70% percent of the way. Anyone who can spare a few weeks out of your schedule in mid-late June who is interested should contact me at their soonest convenience. Mahalo.
