In the museum
The aircraft has been in the Pacific Aviation Museum in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii since 2013. The museum plans to restore the bomber and display it in a hangar on Ford Island, a small island in the port. And while the cost can exceed $5 million, it’s a modest price to pay for preserving a national treasure.
Not an isolated case
But even today relics from the Second World War are being discovered all over the world. For example, while Imgur user CanadaSpeedoMan and his wife were hiking through the backcountry of Greenland, they stumbled across a haunting reminder of that not-so-distant past. For days, the couple had wandered the fjords, getting farther and farther from anything resembling civilization. Then they came upon piles of old barrels and the twisted frames of long-collapsed buildings.
