L-19 in Green Lake

[cweimaraner]

We have our pre-dive meeting tonight and will be briefed on the plan to recover the plane from the lake on Saturday, August 13th.  I don't know all the details but apparently the plane will be restored and put on display at the local park in Spicer.

I have dove the plane quite a bit since it was found and  it is truly a shame to remove it from the lake.  I think all the divers on the county dive team feel the same way.

I guess there will be some "Specialists" that will assist the County Dive team in the recovery.  It is not very deep, ~40 feet, but once the work starts the vis will definatly be Zero.

I'm sure all the personal belongings will be documented and removed.  There has been talk of removing the wings underwater first.  I think that the plane is pretty delicate and will sustain damage during the lifting process.

I'll do a little write-up after I know more.
