Hi Paul. >From what I can tell the crash actually happened in 1964. Here is a report of >the accident:
http://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/wiki.php?id=69872 I haven't noticed it on my visits, but supposedly part of the tail is still in the crater somewhere. The actual NSTB report is much more dry and succinct: http://www3.ntsb.gov/aviationquery/brief.aspx?ev_id=79450&key=0 A MUCH more detailed and interesting account of the event can be found in Jim Tobin's "Fragments", including pictures(!), in the September 2008 Meteorite Times http://www.meteorite-times.com/Back_Links/2008/september/Jims_Fragments.htm I would assume that the majority of the airframe was either airlifted out, or packed out in pieces. Maybe Jim can tell us more about the final disposition. Nice pics BTW. -- Richard Kowalski Full Moon Photography IMCA #1081 --- On Thu, 3/24/11, [email protected] <[email protected]> wrote: > From: [email protected] <[email protected]> > Subject: [meteorite-list] American Meteorite Museum and Quiz > To: [email protected] > Date: Thursday, March 24, 2011, 5:02 AM > I took a trip to northern Arizona > about a week ago and visited Meteor Crater.
