You never know what you can dig up in Greenland.

I saw the (Discovery channel, perhaps Nat’l Geo?) documentary on those guys who pulled that Lightning out of the ice. OMG, ton of work, incredible.

Maybe...I am confusing that with a similar effort (adn similar documentary) to rescue a B-29 from the ice, obviously a considerably larger effort. The poor guys who worked on that for years ultimately got it out, rebuilt it, fired it up, and IIRC a loose toolbox shifted during an early taxi run, ruptured a fuel line, and the whole thing went up in flames. It was utterly heartbreaking.

I was in Boise two summers ago at the Warbirds museum. They happened to be celebrating the recovery of the P-38s in Greenland. Very interesting story. There were a lot of WW2 pilots there that day, including a lady who flew p-38s, if I recall correctly. It was really cool. My daughter was impressed.
