The Yakima Herald-Republic is reporting a story today about the possible recovery of P-51 parts from the grease pit of the Naches Valley School bus garage. An anonymous individual from Western Washington is willing to pay $10,000 for a wing that is supposedly buried there. The wing evidently comes from a P-51 that was purchased by the school district for $217 in 1946 on war surplus and was used for years afterward as a training aid for the high school mechanics program.

The plane, its delivery, and its deposition in the 1970’s has become a part of local lore another article describes, and the result of the excavation will be known by summers end. Stay tuned!
