>>1042586Engine Failure due to Fuel Starvation shortly after takeoff, then attempting the "impossible turn."
Terribly Sad to Hear.
As for the landing on the road, I have a feeling the bellyflop is what got them, and not the gear collapsing and spinning.
Also on that, I did some quick looking on google earth (picrelated)
In red a general guess of the flight path from pictures and articles given
Black is self-explanatory
Green is Runway Centerline
Now most of you, including myself saw the field shown by the orange line and thought "That's Perfect just put it there." I have a feeling the airplane might have been too high to get it put down there by the time the engine failed. Same story with the one road that's just to the south of the Orange, not to mention it looks like only a small little 2 laner. Maybe the field south of Harrington and east of the Orange? Maybe. But hindsight is 20/20.
