1. It's 71 years after June 1942

Why post this old crap now?

[ashling]

3. Because Al Gore hadn't invented the internet yet ... in 1942.

12. Because it's not 72 years old

Shit on a cracker, don't you know that the cut off is 72 years. Please try to keep up.

2. That looks like Mars...

... finding an old aircraft THERE would be interesting.

If I was Superman I'd always be pulling pranks like putting old aircraft on Mars where the rovers can find them.

5. I'm sure someone will

I toured a hangar in Breckenridge, Texas owned by a company that restores WWII aircraft. The work they do is incredible. You can't tell the finished product from a brand new aircraft.

7. I call BS

It doesn't even have a propeller? And we're supposed to believe that it could fly?

Bah!

10. The propeller is in the photo

I suspect gophers removed it to sell for scrap and gave up after hauling it a whopping thirty feet, "It's hard work".

11. They couldn't gopher the distance, I guess.

8. World War II never happened.

God just put that wreck there to test our faith...

Wonder how much they are going to discover in the Middle East 50 - 100 years down the road that the USA bombed the shit out of.

Especially Iraq & Afghanistan.

(sigh)
