Warbird Information Exchange

Greetings one and all.
I was wondering if their has been any serious talk on the matter of raising the B-36 that crashed in Lake Worth just out side of Carswell (SAC) Run Way in Fort Worth Texas ?

She was salvaged in 1949, within days of going off the runway.

I seem to remember a few years ago reading in the Fort Worth paper that divers did determine that some material was still in the lake, but that it was extremely badly damaged from the crash and recovery efforts.

Aloha All,
When I was a pre-schooler, I played with a "back-door" neighbor's kid ...in the next block... His Dad and mine traded rides to Consolidated. His Dad was one of those killed on the Lake Worth B-36.

Now my question. What was the kid's name? I can not recall...so I must begin with the lost crew names.... Any help from newspapers of the time?
Mahalo nui loa,
David Aiken

Greetings in Responce to Scott as to the Name of the kid that he played with it was Joey Lemming III Son of Maj Joseph L Lemming Jr Radioman/Bombardier. asigned to the 7th Bomb Wing 9th Squadron B-36 # 44-92079 the one that he was killed in
Joey and I were Chefs togother in the very early Eightys. He told me that his father was one of the lead Bombardiers on B-17's in the Mighty Eight Airforce in WW2. Any body want to take a shot as to what Group and the Name of the plane that he flew on in WW2 ?

Thankyou for all the info on my ?'s of the Lake worth B-36
