It's actually the treasure hunters who find those airplanes, and they are not primary after the human remains - furthermore you'll never know if you'll find any remains at all - or if the pilot even was still onboard(you can bail and get blown to bits by a shell on the ground f.i.).

Imagine how close you would feel to a lost one to actual have their dog-tags in your hands.

Close? Like having the pocketwatch of grandpa?
There's one lil' difference 'tho - imagine what these dogtags went through at the impact.
Tomato, Microwave?
Not something i would want to have.
