He crashed in a nose-down attitude and they figure he hit the ground going 400 knots+.....left a 30 foot crater in the ground. The biggest pieces of the airplane they could find were landing gear knuckles and the engine splines. The rest was vaporized, as was the pilot.<BR/><BR/>We carried his body to grave's registration in a 5 gallon bucket, and that was only 1/5 full. Pieces of his scalp, his right palm, and finger and toe joints were pretty much all they found of him.<BR/><BR/>It'll be interesting to watch this one.Greybeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11919862790973521778noreply@blogger.com
