A team from the lower 48 is coming to Fairbanks to salvage the long abandoned wreck of a World War 2 era bomber.  The Mitchell B-25 crashed while in post war service as a fire fighting aircraft, is now targeted by 2 Michigan men working on a B-25 restoration project.  As KUAC’s Dan Bross reports, the salvage is scheduled for later this month.
