The Military Unraveled A Mystery When They Saw This In The Jungle

Rediscovering Swamp Ghost

For a while, the Swamp Ghost was forgotten. That is until the Australian soldiers rediscovered it during their flyover. Hagen and Tallichet completely salved the aircraft by 2006. Afterwards, it was bound for great things.

For some time, the salvaged plane was not allowed to leave Papua New Guinea, but four years after its salvage, it was finally given permission to head back to the United States. It had its first public viewing in Long Beach, California. Family members of the original crew were among those who saw it for the first time.
