FRESNO, Calif. — Two climbers on a Sierra Nevada (search) glacier discovered an ice-encased body believed to be that of an airman whose plane crashed in 1942.
The man was wearing a World War II-era (search) U.S. Army Corps parachute when his frozen head, shoulder and arm were spotted on 13,710-foot Mount Mendel (search) in Kings Canyon National Park, park spokeswoman Alex Picavet said Wednesday.
--snip--
"We're not going to go fast," she said. "We want to preserve him as much as possible. He's the serviceman may have been part of the crew of an AT-7 navigational training plane that crashed on Nov. 18, 1942. The wreckage and four bodies were found in 1947 by a climber.

This makes that commercial for the SUV with the body frozen in ice in back pretty real. I think the commercial is touting climate controlled areas in the vehicle.

IIRC, an age-old tradition considered burials on the mountaintops as especially honorable.

Captain America was frozen in suspended animation at the end of WW2 and then thawed out in the 1960's.

Wonder if they would do an autopsy.

an age-old tradition considered burials on the mountaintops as especially honorable.The airman is from 1942 (probably), and even THEY knew that clouds contain rocks, generally large rocks known as mountains.
Sad case of controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) from many years ago.
God bless the men that fly and fight.
