Plane wreck pictures wanted

Post by oldsalt »

I agreed to present a program on sunken plane wrecks. Unfortunately, I only have a few plane wreck pictures. I am focusing on navy planes. The group is primarily former navy, including several aviators. If any of you have pictures or sonar images you are willing to let me use, I would greatly appreciate it. There is no money involved and I will certainly attribute the source of any pictures I get.
Thanks, Curt
Happy to be alive.

Hi old friend! Here are a few from Kona many years back. Not the best, but you are free to use them if you wish. I have no recollection of the circumstances of this little plane though.

Chris and Lamont: Thank you both. I am excited about this. One of our group is a WWII vet who ditched a prop driven fighter. Several of us knew Ralph Frame, the pilot of the PBM near Renton. A couple of the older guys will have flown some of the planes pictured. I wasn't taking pictures in my prime diving years, hardly anybody was. It is really great that I can benefit from your work.
Gratefully, Curt

I take photos because I like it, not because I'm good at it. :) by Unknown
