That is a great find. If there are MIA remains, hopefully they can be found and repatriated. Also, the blue stars and bars; it amazes me how well the wartime paint has held up on this find.

From the other news story, I got the impression that this is under snow during some times of the year. Maybe it was also flipped over for that shot?
There's also the remains of a SB-17 in the Olympic Mountains in Western Washington state and the paint on parts of that are in much better condition than you'd expect, as well.
