        Yeah, it's interesting reading some of the reports about when
they find a plane. One of the guys that works in my building went to
Hawaii to check out a crash site on the side of one of the mountains.
The crash had first been found back in '91. He got up there to it
and it had already been removed.

        I think in the future it would prove to be pretty useful
though. There's certainly no need to do it for the common stuff like
C-64's and such. I know there's a registry for the C-65's that exist.
