Members of EAA Chapter 1172 in Willmar, MN,have volunteered to
restore a Cessna L-19 Birddog that plunged into nearby Green Lake
nearly 47 years ago. The Army airplane, which will be removed from
the lake on Saturday, August 13, crashed on October 15, 1958,
killing pilot Capt. Richard P. Carey of Willmar. Carey's body was
found two weeks later, but the aircraft was never recovered.
