The following series of side by side shots compares the grainy accident report photos (left) with Google Earth images (right). Thanks to Chris Baird at arizonawrecks.com and Brad Gray for debating back and forth via email about the location of this crash site using Google Earth.






Now having determined the most likely location for the crash, out to the crash site! The first photo was fairly easy to line up. However getting to the exact spot proved problematic as the impact was in the river bed and has since been overgrown with heavy vegetation, however parts that had been thrown from the impact point were found at this spot.
