I was just going to post a correction, because the last news I saw said that the tail had not been found. The sheriff described the accident scene as pretty much a lawn dart, although he didn't use those words....60 by 100 feet. Bob Gardner "Dale" wrote in message ...

I doubt that they were even able to move, once the dive began. I understand that, IF they were out of control. I descended at 3000-4000fpm in a 206 and kept the engine warm. It wouldn't be unreasonable to think they could reach 7000fpm without being out of control...although it does sound like a spiral descent with inflight breakup. I'm reading they found the tail section some distance away. Not the way I want to die. The Caravan does not carry ice well. There's an airworthiness directive against it for that reason.
