Recovery of an American fighter plane, a Thunderbolt P-47
out of the lake “Traunsee” in Austria in 2005. The pilot survived
the crash, which he caused by error. Reportedly, this was the last mission
of an American fighter plane in 1945. Local people rescued the pilot and
remembered the location of the crash. After decades of this incident, it
was recovered from appr. 80m under the lake’s surface. Partly you
can recognize the markings and the Pin-up girl on the plane. |

make this a fun exercise.

Automatic
transmission, power steering, Torsen differentials, that is why the Hummer
gets almost everywhere, but if the trail gets too narrow – a wrong
move by the driver, a little mistake and down the hillsid you go. |
