EXCELLLENT site, vids, & photos! Thanks!

I've been on a couple different crash investigations...while skimming over the data & reports on the site - I understand what they are saying as far as debris hitting the ground with forward velocity that causes the debris to skip...

However on the crash investigations that I was part of...with that debris placement as well as other data gathered from subject aircraft history, wingmen, previous sorties & debriefs for the day - we were able to put together the scenarios prior to and the cause of the crashes.

A very interesting science indeed!

Sigman -

I didn't know you used to do that.

I've watched the first video a bunch of times. At first I didn't hear the warning indicator right before he says, "...little more pull." .

Isn't that head-on shot something else?

I'm glad you enjoyed this site.

It was just "part" of the overall job...my motivation on the crashes was of course to save crew lives and prevent further incidents if possible...
