Our Mission:

We are a group of volunteers dedicated to investigating, discovering and documenting wreck sites of historical aircraft.

We use the latest technology and techniques in our quest to  identify a wreck site's location and the story behind what the cause was.

Members come from diverse fields and around the country with the common passion to discover and share our findings.

What is Aviation Archaeology?

 Aviation archaeology is primarily the locating and documenting of old aircraft crash sites. It focuses on the preservation of these sites and of the history surrounding the activities that caused them. There are many ways to preserve crash sites and their history. However, a major barrier that stands in the way is a lack of knowledge on the part of the public and land managers. READ MORE

Project Mariner: 2020

8/15/2020 - On December 5, 1945, five TBM Avengers, known as FLIGHT 19, took off from NAS Ft. Lauderdale on a training mission.  During their flight, they became disoriented and lost. Two PBM Mariners were sent out to Flight 19’s last known location to rescue them. Unfortunately, Flight 19 and its crews were never found. On its way out, one of the PBM Mariners, with a crew of 13 also disappeared and was never heard from again. These mysterious events became the cornerstone of what we know as….. the BERMUDA TRIANGLE legend.  READ MORE Click here...
