one more look at Sandi before heading out on the [short] hike...
Here we are hiking to the crash site...
The first main piece we noticed was the tail of the air plane.
Then there was this thing. Based on pieces found later, we surmised that this may have been the exhaust duct.
This piece had an interestingly scrawled part number. One thought (in light of the non-factory look to the text)
was that it may not have been an original, manufacturer part number,
but rather, something used by the crash investigators to catalog all of the pieces and parts.
Then we hiked down the mountainside to try to find the engine.
See that on the NEXT PAGE.
