Jennifer walks the field where the aft fuselage and tail section of 68-0227 came to rest south of the runway at Clinton Municipal Airport. Most of the accessible wreckage is now confined to this area.
When I last visited this area in December 2005, the field between the road and the runway was just grass and was littered with small pieces of the airplane. It's recently been planted with corn. I wonder if the field was cleaned up first, or if all the parts were just plowed under? The white stripes denoting the end of the runway are just barely visible in the center of the field. The view looks upslope, and I had to stand on the bed rails of my pickup just to see this much!
