A longer account appears at "Flight Aware".

I'm irked, however, that the proximate "military plane" was so readily dismissed by NPR.

10 years later.
In the mail was the contents of my wallet. Credit cards and such.
Found on bottom of lake by a scuba driver. Not near my residence. Rough waters day that I lost wallet.

The leather wallet had deteriorated.

And the paper money ? I never got that back. I do think that the fish got to the paper money first and that the fish spent it.

Thank you to the scuba diver for tracking me down. As my mailing address was not in my wallet.

As to crashes in Champlain, I researched over the winter a huge variety of sources for information to build a list of 17 crashes, both military and civilian since 1935. Most were recovered, some not.

The KC-97 tanker went in in 1957 or so along with a P2V Neptune same year. Furthermore a local aviation historian in VT is working with us now as he has a much larger crash list he has assembled over about the last 30 years. He remains baffled as well as to what we have here-what we now call Plane #1.

I find it unbelievable given the fact that Champlain is 12 miles wide and 120 miles long, that we found not one plane but 2. And so far nobody anywhere has information about Plane #1.

We continue to work to ID it.
