“Now, the military is working to find out who this airman is and whether he was ever reported missing.”

Really? They think the USAAC never noticed this chap was missing?

I remember this story well. Mendel Glacier is about 15 miles from my house. 13,000 feet above sea level, not "13,000 feet above the national park floor" as the article states.

[snip] THIS article from the Fresno Bee September 8, 2016 issue discusses my discovery of Glenn Munn on Mendel Glacier and puts the story in context to shrinking glaciers and climate change. [/snip]

It was all over the local news here for several weeks. The national media rarely covers our rural area. We had a big 6.2 earthquake here in 1986 and it barely made the news in Los Angeles. Pre-internet era of course.

aren’t glaciers moving? so in 70 years, the wreck has moved to an area that now melts a bit more... slow natural process, rather than global warming.

it is good to be having this service man finally laid to rest.
