Thanks. This helps a lot. But now it's even more of a puzzle. Google
map the location. It's 1.18 miles E/SE of a visible airport, marked
"arthur aerodrome" on google maps. There's an even closer "Bellwood
Aerodrome" but that doesn't exist according to the satellite photo.
It's 3.05 miles SE of the intersection of the runways at York. Most of
all, there are huge fields all over the place, bigger than this one,
with no trees at the ends, and next to the obvious roads, unlike this
field which is landlocked with no visible trailer access. It just
makes no sense to land in this field, let alone run in to the trees. I
hope the accident investigation unravels the mysteries a bit. Ugh.
