If I recall correctly someone reported on WIX, playing on a Corsair in a lake in Northern Florida when he was young?
Yeah, the difference is that the corsair is in
awful shape, even several years ago (going on 20 now). It's flipped upside down and probably was ripped in half but you couldn't tell with just a swim mask.
Heck, there are oodles of planes all ate up in open places, I know of several myself, and almost all of them are well known by others and these are old corroded hulks. How's a perfectly intact WW2 plane supposedly sitting out in the open going to be missed by everyone except one person?
The age old "brand new WW2 plane just sitting out in the open" when nobody has actually seen it or can tell you where it is, is just an old fish story. I can't see how it couldn't be any more obvious. I've been told many such stories and the people telling them can never tell you exactly where they are, nobody has ever seen them and there's no way to get to them. Come on, how blind do you gotta be to not see this for what it is???

Yet it's still there, still accessible, still in the same landing pattern, yet they can't get it out due to the suction inside the mud.
She said she has pictures, but didn't have them at the time since we were at the racetrack.
Okay, then why isn't it widely known? Why can't they tell you where it is exactly? I assume Google earth somehow missed it? Nobody on the forum has heard of it?
