That plane has a ball turret on the nose, tall single vertical stabilizer, and blister turrets on the side. I'm pretty sure that's a Consolidated PB4Y-2 Privateer. The Privateer was commonly used as a patrol bomber by the Navy and Coast Guard during WW2 and the Korean War.

Excellent content as always. I work as an industrial subsea ROV Pilot, and filling bags with nitrogen and achieving equilibrium is the way we move things around subsea. We lift items weighing several tons using lift bladders, and a load monitor under the blader tells us how much we’re lifting, so that the ROV (with a lift capacity of 500kg) doesnt overload it’s thrusters. Usually we make it so it lifts around 100kg, giving us 400kg buffer.
@@benmcreynolds8581 are you good with regular drones? If so, simply apply to an ROV company and tell them what they want to hear, and that youre good with drones

"It's too deep for me." Mad props for realizing your limits as a scuba diver, even though the circumstances (line directly to the wreck and what seems to be pretty calm, non-busy water) woud make it very tempting to just go there and see it for yoursef.
It really is too deep, at the depth regular compressed air is poison. You need a tri mixture of inert gas, then you would have to do decompression stops, plus for saftey you need a surface compression chamber in case you get the bends. The navy dive tables were set up for young fit men.
150ft is completely reasonable depth to go to on 1 cylinder of compressed air (S100/15l) if you know, what you are doing. PPO2 at that depth is 1.15, which iirc is around what you would have as a setpoint if you were on CCR. The concerns are mostly nitrogen narcosis (though at that depth, you shouldn't get affected too much) or simply running out of air, because the werck is gorgeous and it'd be very easy to forget about time. The margins are fairly tight though, so such a dive should definitely not be attempted solo.
@@harrodharrod5239 you would have in my view, no time to explore. I would go after the 50m (160f) Norwegian diving table. Giving you 10min dive and 10 minute deco.

There is a similar crash site near where I live: A P-47 Thunderbolt that is only about 5-10 ft underwater. I've gone freediving in the area before and still am always amazed by how in tact it is after almost 80 years of sitting in salt water, even surviving a hurricane that pushed the wreckage hundreds of yards away from the original crash site
@@neonryder8897 I live in Hawaii. The plane is in Kailua bay. The story behind it is the engine died and wouldn't restart right after takeoff when it was low over the water.
Wonder why they wouldn't have retrieved it if it is so shallow. Apparently they did try to get this PBY4 out of the lake but it failed and sank back to the bottom
This was the best video of the bomber I’ve ever seen. I’ve got about 10 hours diving on this wreck. This was so cool to see someone else enjoying the wreck as much as I have!
When you were exploring the plane I could not shake the feeling that something was going to pop out. It just triggered something inside of me and my fight or flight response was just always on. GREAT VIDEO!
The PB4Y privateer is basically the Navy variant of the B-24 Liberator, so unlike the most famous PBY the Catalina, this is a land-based airplane. Well it was until they crashed it. The PBY designation means that it's a patrol bomber produced by consolidated, it doesn't follow quite the same letter number sequence that they would standardize in the Cold War.
It's a PB4Y-2 to be a little more exact. After a bit of research there were 11 on board all escaped after engine trouble while conducting a no flap take off brought it down into lake Washington. Date of crash August 1956, registration number 59695
That "thing" on the side of the fuselage at 11:06 looks to be the port waist gunner position. They were mounted way out on the side in order to be able to shoot downwards, as it lacked a ventral turret like the B-17 or B-24.
This was super cool! If you're ever lacking for engineering content, feel free to go all in on the scavenging in between projects. It's strangely super entertaining to watch y'all just pull garbage/salvageable scooters out of the lake. Great video!
I read that there are about 50 WW2 aircraft on the bottom of Lake Washington. Most were intentionally dumped off the Sandpoint Naval Base. The Seattle Flight Museum has a Corsair that was raised from the Lake and restored. I think some of the parts early in the video may be from a Curtiss Helldiver and not the Privateer. There’s supposed to be a Martin Mariner Flying boat sunk out there too.
@rctestflight, we dive the PB4Y often using UW scooters from shore/Magnussen park, it would be swell to do an ROV + divers video at some point. Please ping me if you are interested.
I've recovered hub motors that have been underwater and they still work! You'd be surprised how resilient the hub motors are I was able to recover hoverboard motors that had water in them for months and they work fine. Some did need new bearings. One was rusted to the point where it was completely seized. Soaking in vinegar and replacing the bearings and shockingly it works great now!
That airbag was a really neat trick. If you practiced some more you could get some really big stuff out of very deep water with that. Just need to make sure everything is neutrally buoyant when the bag is empty (as possible). Awesome look at that bomber, btw! Nice job getting unstuck too. It seems like that rover could use a swivel cam.
This is really really cool. I'm currently getting into aviation. I'm super into lakes/river water recovery. I'm into diving. I'm super into military history, specifically aviation. So this is hitting all the high notes for me. Its like you browsed my analytics and made a video just for me lol
The bag made me think you might consider creating an emergency tether cutoff. It could be actuated by a servo that uses a CO2 cartridge to force some shears closed to slice the tether near the sub and inflate a bag to bring the sub to the surface. That would at least save the sub, and I'm sure you could pull the bare tether back through whatever it caught on and maybe even reuse that. Would at least add some peace of mind while exploring :)
Very cool and crazy to think about whats at the bottom of lakes. Could easily watch hours of you guys looking for stuff. Everything has a story of how it got there
Does some kind of salvage law apply to the vehicles you pulled up? Are they yours now? Either way, I can't imagine the owners would want them back after sitting in the water so long.
Ride share vehicles, you could probably ask the actual companies. I doubt they'd want them back due to the damage and they probably already claimed insurance, but legally they do still own them. It's like stolen property, just because you found it doesn't mean you can keep it. I don't think you'd be allowed to claim a crashed WW2 bomber, though.
@@Here_is_Waldo IANAL, but from what I can tell, salvage law is completely irrelevant in this case. It depends on the state, but I think they just count as lost property. The owner didn't leave them there, so they are not abandoned property. Depending on the state, you may be legally obligated to attempt to return found lost property.
Idk why this video was THAT good. I feel like bringing stuff out of water like this, especially bikes and scooters that might still work, could be a full on hobby!
The PB4-Y is one of my favorite looking American bombers for sure and had lots of defensive guns. At 16:22 in the video those are blister turrets they’re side mounted twin .50 cals with a lot of degrees of motion
I am 79 years old and i really enjoy you juat meesing with stuff a nd making it work. Hooking that bag to the bike and inflaring the bag was m 27:32 mezmerizing. I waa actually cheering you on. I subscribed to see what else you are doimg. Loved your dyson powered plane.
My favorite part is how you actually know what youre looking at, a lot of enthusiasts and hunters would have no clue. They would be like yooooo this is a plane! thats the extent of their knowledge.
This plane crash is a popular diving location in Lake Washington. Nobody died in the plane crash and it isn't correlated to ww2. Along with the plane, there are many ship wrecks. Because the lake is deep it became a dumping ground for old ships and other trash, and the lake was not safe to swim in for a long time until a large scale clean up effort was made.
This is incredible! I’ve seen this in my recommended for a while and had just ignored it, but today I have some time and decided I’d watch it, and it’s just amazing! The sub looks like it’s a super item, I’d actually love one myself to help out with fishing! Incredible video!
Based on the fact that Ofo went out of business in 2020 and left the Seattle market in late 2018, the last bike you pulled out has been in the water somewhere between 5 and 7 years!
So much of this is loaded with the film tropes of underwater horror, it's just oozing with suspense. Super cool, though. Anything recovered from those bikes? Amazing that one seemed to have a slightly working battery...
Bro - many many MANY people dive to 150 feet man that’s not even mixed rig required yet I don’t think THAT IS OUTSTANDING VIDEO. You guys did so awesome - that scooter that came on after it’s been in the water god knows how long - that blew my mind
If you set your fishfinder depth range manually to >2x depth, you can see how hard the bottom is with the presence of a second echo that happens when hard object/bottom reflects strong enough to go back and forth through the water twice. Signal going into mud is mostly absorbed and won't be strong enough to double echo.
Excellent video! That bomber was so cool and spooky looking, it's crazy how dark it got down there. I know you are an engineering channel but I really do love the underwater drone stuff. Maybe make a second channel with just drone footage that you can upload to when you have time. As for how to get the stuff you see off the bottom, have you tried looking into magnet fishing? Obviously it would only pick up magnetic things but it is probably better than having that expensive drone get tangled up or broken while pulling something up and you can still use the drone to film from a safe distance. Also, are there any plans to use the e-scooters/bikes you found for parts for another project? Especially since some still see to power? Or do you have to return them to the owner/ rides share renter?
You need to get one of those sonar imagers and attach it to one of your autonomous boats then do autonomous scanning of the bottom to find interesting stuff, then go down with the ROV to check them out.
When I was a kid in the 80s, we had a friend that would go diving quite often, and he told me a story about a Jaguar that rolled off of one of the ferry’s in Edmonds just after leaving for one of the islands. He said that it was left there for divers to explore and because the insurance company did not want to go after it. You should go and see if you can find it.
11:07 that is a blister observation canopy. They used those to check the blind spots of the pilots. They would check for enemy aircraft, spy on ships, and look for survivors.
I don't have time to watch the whole vid right now but youtube played the first few seconds and I jusy gotta say. I've had a helix mattress for 3 years now and absolutely love it. That's all
First - great work and more interesting video, so thank you! Second - consider adding a magnetometer (I2C 9-axis IMUs on AdaFruit have a 3-axis "compass" that could be affordable.) or maybe infrared lighting to see if that works better under water or UV LEDs to see if anything phosphoresces.
I started watching this channel about 9 months ago and it is one of the coolest channels that I watch cuz these guys do some of the coolest stuff I have ever seen and so on top of technology. I just don't understand why people do such stupid things like dump electric scooters and bicycles into the water like that.

Lmfaooo TH-cam was like: why the hell they ain’t used this🤔 let me recommend this video rq😂
My favorite part is how you actually know what youre looking at, a lot of enthusiasts and hunters would have no clue. They would be like yooooo this is a plane! thats the extent of their knowledge.
This is one of the coolest things I've seen on YT. I wish you guys had more content like this, I'd def sub to see more WW2 wreckages.
The algorithm loves anything submarine related now.
Please do more treasure fishing videos! Maybe fix a few things up, or at least make sure they get disposed of properly.
This plane crash is a popular diving location in Lake Washington. Nobody died in the plane crash and it isn't correlated to ww2. Along with the plane, there are many ship wrecks. Because the lake is deep it became a dumping ground for old ships and other trash, and the lake was not safe to swim in for a long time until a large scale clean up effort was made.
Next time go to the titanic 👍
I wasn't aware a PB4Y-2 had been lost in that lake. Good video! Dad was a nose gunner on one of those in WWII. VPB-109, Pacific Theater.
I hope the control doesn’t disconnect
How well would the ROV do in salt water? Could this be used in the puget sound?
Can you explore the ocean gate titan sub
It ain't a thing anymore
This is incredible! I’ve seen this in my recommended for a while and had just ignored it, but today I have some time and decided I’d watch it, and it’s just amazing! The sub looks like it’s a super item, I’d actually love one myself to help out with fishing! Incredible video!
I didn't realise at first that you're 150ft down. It's crazy how we can just get clear live footage from all the way down there. Spooky too
I would totally watch hours of you just finding treasures on the lake floor and then pulling them up with the bag and the compressor. Great content
Something oceangate should've done
Nice find!
NAS Sand Point (on lk Washington) was a large USN float plane base as well.
I would watch dozens more of these exoloring wrecks, super great footage! Really happy it didn't get stuck haha
Based on the fact that Ofo went out of business in 2020 and left the Seattle market in late 2018, the last bike you pulled out has been in the water somewhere between 5 and 7 years!
Try titanic bro
Lil bro doesn’t understand stand physics of pressure
So much of this is loaded with the film tropes of underwater horror, it's just oozing with suspense.
Super cool, though.
Anything recovered from those bikes? Amazing that one seemed to have a slightly working battery...
you should try exploring the titanic next!
💀💀
This totally takes magnet fishing to the next level! Great video.
Don’t let your sub implode please
Bro - many many MANY people dive to 150 feet man that’s not even mixed rig required yet I don’t think THAT IS OUTSTANDING VIDEO. You guys did so awesome - that scooter that came on after it’s been in the water god knows how long - that blew my mind
hey RCtestflight. i really like your videos!!! ive been a fan for pretty long now.
If you set your fishfinder depth range manually to >2x depth, you can see how hard the bottom is with the presence of a second echo that happens when hard object/bottom reflects strong enough to go back and forth through the water twice. Signal going into mud is mostly absorbed and won't be strong enough to double echo.
Excellent video! That bomber was so cool and spooky looking, it's crazy how dark it got down there. I know you are an engineering channel but I really do love the underwater drone stuff. Maybe make a second channel with just drone footage that you can upload to when you have time. As for how to get the stuff you see off the bottom, have you tried looking into magnet fishing? Obviously it would only pick up magnetic things but it is probably better than having that expensive drone get tangled up or broken while pulling something up and you can still use the drone to film from a safe distance.
Also, are there any plans to use the e-scooters/bikes you found for parts for another project? Especially since some still see to power? Or do you have to return them to the owner/ rides share renter?
I vibe so hard with your vids dude. Never stop creating. You inspire me.
aint no way this was recommended to me at this time
You guys went there before dawn to pull bikes out of the mud, now that is dedication!
Would be interesting if battery or motors are salvageable from those scooters.
The copper maybe salvageable.
I mean technically they're still owned by the scooter company so I'm not sure if you can just claim salvage on them
@@davemiller262 I think that the scooter company already got insurance payouts for these. If so, then scooters don't have an owner anymore.
I don't think the battery will be very salvageable but motors maybe
Battery is dead, but clean the motor and change bearings they are just fine.
This was pretty epic! Your a man of many talents and have cool friends as well. I’m envious of your projects and skills.
bruh this is showing up in my recommended at the wrong time
Are you rn in a plane?
@@Frost23496can’t believe you are the first to say that in a year 😂
5:21 that was the best lead up to an ad i've ever heard, bravo.
of course after "the incident", youtube recomends me submarine videos and titanic videos
You need to get one of those sonar imagers and attach it to one of your autonomous boats then do autonomous scanning of the bottom to find interesting stuff, then go down with the ROV to check them out.
Should’ve sent this guy to look for the titanic
When I was a kid in the 80s, we had a friend that would go diving quite often, and he told me a story about a Jaguar that rolled off of one of the ferry’s in Edmonds just after leaving for one of the islands. He said that it was left there for divers to explore and because the insurance company did not want to go after it. You should go and see if you can find it.
Watches it throught a monitor ✅
Moved by a controller ✅
Has to pay $250.000 each ride ❌
Has to sign a death risk term ❌
11:07 that is a blister observation canopy. They used those to check the blind spots of the pilots. They would check for enemy aircraft, spy on ships, and look for survivors.
This was a better dive than the Titan Submersible.
I don't have time to watch the whole vid right now but youtube played the first few seconds and I jusy gotta say. I've had a helix mattress for 3 years now and absolutely love it. That's all
Well this is gonna blow up..
more like blow in!
@@TempyTheCatsmart
First - great work and more interesting video, so thank you!
Second - consider adding a magnetometer (I2C 9-axis IMUs on AdaFruit have a 3-axis "compass" that could be affordable.) or maybe infrared lighting to see if that works better under water or UV LEDs to see if anything phosphoresces.
algorithm 💀
have you seen the Tom Scott video ?
i did ......
@@fergabmmx many times
I started watching this channel about 9 months ago and it is one of the coolest channels that I watch cuz these guys do some of the coolest stuff I have ever seen and so on top of technology. I just don't understand why people do such stupid things like dump electric scooters and bicycles into the water like that. It did give you some good content though it was great to watch, thanks for all of your entertainment 👍👍👍
