Quite a story. I remember reading of it somewhere before. Yet another story of "let it sit there and rot away as tribute!" As for this "new layer of protection" that is such a farce. In such a remote location, the odds of catching someone "picking up souvenirs" is so remote it is a joke! Between wind, weather and scavengers, it will be essentially gone in 10-20 years, lost forever.

Take a bunch of pictures, remove the plane to a museum, and leave a monument in it's place (as if many visit the spot). A full scale diorama of it in crashed state in a museum would be a much better tribute than a patch of oil-stained tundra with scattered metal bits. Perhaps start a rumor that the plane is an environmental hazard and MUST be removed! Leaking oil and fuel into that pristine environment is terrible!!!
