I don't think that the aircraft N3657G pictured in this link is the correct aircraft that went down at the Hinkley Parachute Center on Sept 7, 1992. See the following link for the NTSB Identification: DCA92MA048 http://www.ntsb.gov/ntsb/brief.asp?ev_id=20001211X15678&key=1 Also, the Chicago Tribune article dated 9/8/1992 says" "One wing touched the ground, and the plane cartwheeled over and exploded. See http://articles.chicagotribune.com/1992-09-08/news/9203210854_1_skydiving-plane-crashes-plane-cartwheeled-parachutes See: http://www.nytimes.com/1992/09/08/us/plane-of-sky-divers-crashes-in-illinois-killing-12-men.html "the plane "cartwheeled and exploded on impact" Another article said the plane was silver in color. The plane pictured here doesn't show wing damage or a plane that had been totally engulfed in flames, exploding on impact. This plane pictured here in this memorial must be a substitute plane of the same type. Also, this was a skydiving accident, not an agriculture accident. |
