Do 17 to be raised

Man, what a find that would be! Any idea when they are going to raise it?
Sounds like the process began on Friday. But it will take up to a month to finish raising it. I'm thinking it might be one of the largest planes raised so far. Could be wrong though.
That's bigger than a B25?
I completely forgot about that B-25 in South Carolina http://www.lakemurray-sc.com/lakemurrayb25.html
more photos of that B-25 http://abnf.co/SC-b25_airplane_pulled_out_from_lake_murray,_south_carolina.htm
Also there was one in Lake Greenwood that was pulled up in 1983or 4. They were droppin' like flies around here. Both those bombers were in the 321st training wing which emerged into the 321st Missle Wing which was the host wing when I was at Grand Forks, can't get away with nuffin'

We pulled a Wellington out of Loch ness, thats quite a bit bigger than a B25 ? or are we talking the sea rather than lakes ?
So that explains all those sightings.... :facepalm
I would think a Wellington would be comparable to a Mitchell but not sure which would be larger.
From Wiki:
Wellington
Length: 64 ft 7 in (19.69 m)
Wingspan: 86 ft 2 in (26.27 m)
Height: 17 ft 5 in (5.31 m)
Wing area: 840 ft² (78.1 m²)
Empty weight: 18,556 lb (8,435 kg)
B25
Length: 52 ft 11 in (16.13 m)
Wingspan: 67 ft 7 in (20.60 m)
Height: 16 ft 4 in (4.98 m)
Wing area: 610 sq ft (56.7 m²)
Empty weight: 19,480 lb (8,855 kg)
so yeah I guess the Wellington is larger.

Just saw on CNN.com that they got it raised onto a barge today. Looks like they've got a ton of work ahead of 'em.
