I have to agree. Even assuming it could remain in the air (pics look
like it would and I don't think that is 5 1/2 ft missing), there would
be drastic trim problems. That the pilot and passengers would fly that
long without noticing odd flight characteristics and noone would glance

The 210 flys like a truck and can haul just about as much. They might
not notice.

out the window and "say old chap, I do believe we are missing
something".

Looks to me like he only lost a wing tip and the leading edge is a
little frayed.

Doesn't look like a turboprop though. Those look like normal stacks
to me.
