There was an F-14 tail fin that washed up there some time ago. It came from an F-14 that was lost in the Gulf of Mexico. Supposedly the aircraft was recovered...however, the tail fin caught the stream and whamo, it washed up. I wish I had found it. http://archives.tcm.ie/irishexaminer/2006/05/06/story2683.asp M.A.T.S. article: http://www.anft.net/f-14/f14-serial-162594.htm
I love P38s, in fact I think it was one of the first planes with WEP (war emergency power), which used water-methanol injection which I am sure some of you are familiar with. This plane had awesome firepower, 1-20mm cannon and 4-.50caliber machine guns. Aside from the P51 Mustang the P38 is my favorite plane of WWII.
