Also watched a video of reclaiming a B29 from Greenland ice.

You only saw the first half, and missed the part where they suspended a 5-gallon can of gasoline ABOVE an operating APU in the rear fuselage. Then did some high-speed taxi runs on the ice.

Result: priceless warbird, extra crispy.

Saw that part too ... they sat in lawn chairs and watched it burn.
