The only crash I know of near Lake Placid was a B-25 that went down in the Venus area. There was also a fighter that crashed in Lake Istapoga but it must have been salvaged at the time, because when they had a drought a few yers ago you could see the lake bottom on approach to Sebring. The Dove was about 70 yards from the water line.
Have any idea of exactly where the b-25 went down at? I'm going to be in lake placid in a few days and need something to do haha. As for the fighter could it have sank into the muck bottom of istapoga? I'm a archeological student at UA and you wouldn't believe what we've found sunk in muck/swamps we've even found a 1940s car. we just happen upon looking for native sites in the swamps
