I wish we knew more about the circumstances of these photos, but that's probably what happened.

oh, I thought we did know, I was just being silly. Wow, now it's even weirder.

It was definitely an accident of some kind, but I am not sure if the plane over-shot its landing or if it was parked and gradually fell into the ice as it melted.

Is it definitively ice? Could it be a snowdrift that covered it???

Brilliant shot of the old airplane! Those guys had some courage to fly those things never mind fly them across snow covered landscape.
