WIX on CNN

Mon Dec 26, 2011 2:58 pm

My apologies if this was posted already, but I was surprised to see WIX credited for the ID of a sunken Helldiver in this video on CNN. I couldn't find mention of it here. Again my apologies if it's a re-post

Nice! WIX On CNN! Now that the Navy knows about it, it will hopefully be preserved, in-situ, for future generations to see.

I saw the Yahoo story a couple of days ago. Have they determined the aircraft's i.d. and whether or not there are human remains involved?

Maybe the old policy, but the new guys at the NMNA seem to be doing a pretty good job at going after them.

I agree. I think they only go after them,1. So no one else does, 2. for pieces to complete other examples.

That's great to see WIX get some press! And they used the term "experts", wow! How cool is that? :supz:

I had no idea that TIGHAR had authorized anyone from WIX to talk to the press regarding warbird aircraft. :wink:
