first being familiar with the minden area, from riding dirty bikes, its basin and range country. a few ranches here there and not much else.
second he was flying citabria. one of our company pilots based in minden and a very accomplished alaskan bush pilot, augered in with one. NTSB report, pilot error.
third, his plane was equipped with an EPIRB.(emergency positioning indicating radio beacon) these will activate upon "G-FORCES" emitted by plane impacting immoveable object ie. the earth.
4th EPIRB has NOT BEEN ACTIVATED! so that means either a faulty EPIRB or he landed on all three(3) wheels.
5th if he landed right side up in a rural area, wouldnt he pull the pin on EPIRB to show his position???????
6th the guy was very adept at survival skills. wouldnt he light a tire on fire or build a fire to indicate his position?????
my angle..........faulty EPIRB and he augered in at warp speed.
or hes hanging with ELVIS!
