POCATELLO - Some history buffs are using GPS tracking gear in hopes of locating the site where a World War II-era bomber went down over eastern Idaho.

Butch Gates, one of the Pocatello-area men on the hunt, says he guesses you could call it "wreck chasing."

They're on the lookout for Flight 2471, which went down east of the Craters of the Moon national monument in 1943. Three people died.

Gates has researched the crash, copying reports, military testimony and grainy black-and-white photographs.

A recent search failed to turn up any sign of the B-24 Liberator.

But Gates and his fellow plane hunters say they'll be back next year for another look around the desert for a piece of aviation history.
