JUPITER, Fla. (AP) — A scuba diver in Florida says he's found the remains of a WWII-era aircraft on the ocean floor.
Randy Jordan of Emerald Charters tells The Palm Beach Post (http://bit.ly/s1iacg ) that he was diving at a depth of around 200 feet four miles off Jupiter last week when he spotted the remains of an aircraft. The plane was upside down but still mostly intact.
Jordan says he believes the plane is a Curtiss Helldiver SB2C.
If he's right, it would be the second Helldiver wreck found underwater in two years. One of the planes was found off Hawaii in January 2010.
Jordan says he has plans to take more divers to the site, but they have to proceed cautiously because the plane still could contain live ammunition or human remains.
