Someone will be paying a bit more for insurance . . . .

I ask one of the Ness Crane people and he estimated the crane costs as around $6,000. The large crane was rated at 175 tons but that size was required because the lift radius was a long way out.

That would be the aircraft owner's insurance company. Any other questions?

Neat story of the recovery … but how did the plane end up there in the first place?

Sheeesh, never mind … just saw the link! Doh!

I wonder what the tab was. That crane fee alone must be at least a couple grand.
