It was fun when I went looking for the specs on a F-101 Voodoo (the RF-101C reconnaissance variant). The author had a pair of gentlemen who found a crashed Voodoo in the Amazon rain forest that had basically turned to mound of rust in the 30+ years since it crashed during the Vietnam war era. This bugged me since I vaguely remembered the major metal used in aircraft in that era was aluminum alloys which may corrode but don't turn into a pile of rust.
