Peter you are correct... my buddy was flying the Cessna and did not get out
of it.
The Baron Pilot was heads down and climbing into the blind side of the
straight and level Cessna, head on, lower right quadrant below engine
cowling. The right main gear of the Cessna 170 punched through and ripped
open the right side of the Baron. The Baron landed safely on a farmers
runway. The gear and wing strut was damaged causing the right wing to fail
and he spun in.
This is not a goose impact. The tear would not be so clean and straight.

I just received these images from a fellow pilot. Good thing there
wasn't a copilot in that seat.

Try posting the picture, directly here, that is what this place is made
for.
At the least, pick something that does not require sign-up.

Those pics look a lot like the damage to a similar twin, several years
ago, that met with the main undercarriage of an opposing cessna.
Sorry that I can't find the old pics or article to verify.
