In
1996 an official survey was done on this airplane wreck,
but her exact identity was impossible to prove. Since only
the center fuselage and wing assembly is fairly intact,
there was no clear evidence to be found. The survey
clocluded it could be the remains of the B-29 Super
Fortress with tail number 42-65287 that was lost in Puerto
Rican waters and was assigned to US
Army 17th Bomber Operational Training Wing. However, the
scattered remains of this once so mighty airplane rest on
a depth of 34 meter in Bahia de Aquadillo approx two
nautical miles outside Aquadilla Pueblo.
