We watched this today at 9 AM on The History Channel. What a fantastic program. At the end I had tears in my eyes while watching an actual crew member from the Lost Squadron, sit in the cockpit, and at the very end when the P-38 went down the runway again after several decades. When she took off it was breathtaking!

So much effort went into this effort. This plane was under 250 feet of ice in Greenland. It was just incredible how they dug her out and carried her section by section to the surface. You GOTTA watch this to understand and get the feel for the entire process from finance, to team development to search and rescue and then rebuilding. I still don't know how they managed it.

This is how the History Channel described the show.

A team of US adventurers hunts for a lost treasure on an Arctic glacier--a squadron of WWII fighter planes that disappeared after crash-landing in Greenland in 1942. Their quest to solve this historic mystery spans 20 years and demands heroic vision and innovative new technology, but also puts the team's lives in constant danger, destroys friendships, ends marriages, and causes individual financial ruin. It's a story of obsession, commitment, and the high cost of accomplishing the extraordinary.

I caught the last 20 minutes or so. I did see the plane take off. It was a good one!
