Downed Gunship Wreck

Entries

1. Entry 1

   The wreckage trail shows the gunship struck the ground under forward power rather than dropping vertically. Rotor fragments lie hundreds of meters ahead of the fuselage, while the armored avionics bay survived almost intact behind the cockpit.

2. Entry 2

   The pilot's side of the cockpit was stripped after the crash. The gunner's was not. A cracked helmet, emergency water pouch, and folded highway map remain wedged beside the seat, the map marked with a destination nowhere near the aircraft's assigned patrol route.

3. Entry 3

   There was one of flight recorders found with its final minutes contain no weapons fire or warning tones. Only the crew repeatedly asking ground control to identify lights moving beneath them. Military maps show nothing at those coordinates except open desert.
