Ill believe condition when the get dug up.
Remember out if the two intact B-17's and four p-38's that were buried in greenland only Glacier Girl was restorable
Big difference between those two. I know one of the financiers of the expedition that pulled out Glacier Girl. The shifting ice did a lot of damage and they weren't unassembled and packed for shipment like the ones in Burma. Even if there is a fair amount of damage they'll be able to do something with these frames.
