Sunday School: Planes Discovered

Share this amazing story with your students at Sunday School, Devotions and Bible Study groups.

After 40 years they returned to try to salvage the planes.

They planned to brush the snow off but they couldn’t find them.

After a radar search and more trips to Greenland at last they found them hidden deep below the ice -75 metres.

The P-17 bombers were too crushed under the weight of the ice to save but the 8 ton P-38’s were in superb condition.

They made an icy cave by melting the ice with hot water flowing through copper coils.

It took weeks. The planes were dismantled, the parts were collected by
helicopter and taken to the U.S. for restoration.

The planes under the ice were in exactly the same pattern in which they had landed -except they had been moved (by glacial flow) three miles from their original location!
These fast natural processes fit perfectly with God’s timing.
