> As a volunteer at the National Museum of Naval Aviation it is my
> understanding that the policy concerning all aircraft to be recovered is
> that none involved in fatal accidents will be subjects of a recovery and
> restoration.  The reasons for this policy are based on a number of factors
> such as concern for family members, etc.
>
> Usually, guests at the dedication of a restored aircraft when it is put on
> display includes one or more aviators who had flown the ship during its
> service life.
