But about 400 knots slower :-) Dino is pretty much a part of that mountain
now. I think they found his jaw bone, and that's what they gave to his dad.

Two or three years ago a friend of mine went straight into a farmer's
tomato field in a "slow" ultralight. I landed next to the crash site
and ran over to help but he was obviously deceased. His lifeless body
literally conformed to the shape of the wreckage as all his blood had
been drained out of his body and every bone had been shattered
immediately upon impact. His remains appeared as if they had been
painted onto the wreckage. Another friend who had experienced
ground combat in Vietnam showed up and said he's never seen a
human being that mangled up even on the battlefield, Suffice to say,
it was a sight that I hope never to see again in this lifetime...


If you're dead, you're dead; regardless if you auger in at 40 kts. or
400.
