A member of the Alaska Army National Guard adjusts her helmet prior to the beginning of recovery operations of an OA-10 PBY Catalina flying boat. The historic aircraft, which will be airlifted by a CH-54B Tahre, was abandoned by the Air Force after engine trouble forced it down at Dago Lake on September 30, 1947. Members of the Aviation Heritage Museum plan to restore the aircraft and have it flying again sometime in the early 1990s
