while looking at the US Department of The Navy website i found a piece about the Navys attitude to their old plane wrecks.
this part concerns the USAF viewpoint on the subject
i thought some of you might be interested.....
"The Air Force's policy differs strikingly from that of the Navy. The Air Force policy is provided in a 1994 Air Force manual (United States Air Force [USF] 1994).
Aircraft that crashed before 19 November 1961, when a fire destroyed the pertinent Air Force records, and that remain wholly or partially unrecovered are considered formally abandoned. The Air Force neither maintains title to, nor has property interest in these aircraft. The authority for access to, and recovery of these aircraft, as well as liability for damages associated with their recovery, are matters to be resolved between persons seeking recovery and landowners of the wreckage sites.
In 1996, the Air Force added the caveat, "if any human remains are discovered at the site, recovery personnel should immediately contact the nearest United States Embassy or United States military installation. To assist in proper identification of remains, recovery personnel should refrain from further operations at the site pending removal of the remains by United States experts. (USF 1996)."
Interestingly, the Air Force records claimed to have been lost in a fire can be found elsewhere. According to the web site for the Air Force Historical Research Agency (AFHRA), (http://www.airforcehistorv.hq.af.mil/faq/index/html), their agency, "maintains individual records for all aircraft once or presently in the United States Air Force inventory. These records begin in 1924 and continue to July 1990 and appear to be about 98 percent complete (USF 1998)." Aircraft salvors have expressed amusement at the Air Force's claim that the records were lost. One career aircraft salvor created his private database from approximately 67,000 individual Army Air Corps and Air Force accident records (Hoffman 1997:29). Perhaps as many as 44,000 of these records represent accidents that resulted in the loss of the aircraft. Potential wreck sites represent possibly half this number. Air Force abandonment was the basis for attempting to get the Navy to also abandon their aircraft in the recently proposed Warbird Act. The Navy has not disputed the Air Force's claim of abandonment, but other agencies have not recognized the Air Force's assertion as legitimate abandonment (Pelkofer 1998)."
