It has to be the truck in the background!
No way an airplane is going to do that much damage unless it hit the truck
at very high speed and pretty much obliterated itself...


Nope. That's the one that the Mooney hit. A Mooney mechanic friend took
a look at the pics and he figures that it was a combination of the mass of
the engine, plus the sturdy steel cage in the Mooney.

BTW, the plane did hit the truck at a pretty high speed. He had firewalled
it to attempt a go-around about 500 ft. before impact. He was pretty close
to takeoff speed.
