Yup, that seems to be the case. Sometime in the '50s a P-38 Lightning that was owned by a local aerial mapping company crashed into the river cutbanks. That's amazing! I was just joking of course :-) I bet Michael Callahan will have some comments on this, considering his line of work. I'm not sure how the laws are in Canada, but in the US, the government recently tried to take a recovered plane from someone, though they eventually gave up. It might even turn out that there's real financial value in your find. It seems like folks are "restoring" planes with little more than an original data plate. Congrats on the neat find!

The stories I've read about salvaging military a/c indicate that it is only the US Navy that tries to claim perpetual ownership. There doesn't seem to be a problem with the other services.
