Anyone know the disposition of this one? Could it still be out there?!

On my IPad ,when I touch the top photo it takes me to the Flickr photo and when I touch the arrow on left side to see previous photo, there is the B29 Doc in need of rescue. Going to either side of the hellcat photo is a lot of stuff.

Probably not there any longer. A lot, if not all of those were recovered. There was a post showing a number of different wrecks in a Midwest yard in maybe 2002-2006 on the WIX?
Rumor mill (and old WIX postings) say the Hellcat residue ended up in Green Bay and then went to Jim Fry in Minneapolis. That's the last I heard of them!
