I've put up a video showing the CAB scenario of the plane sliding backward and right side up to the final wreckage site.


This video gives some feel for the scale of the site. The trees are placed a little better than in my earlier graphic, and I used three aerial views to position them. It's increasingly clear that the plane could not slide on the ground between those trees without cutting down a significant swath of them. The backward slide, of course, was always a little nutty.

I did not try to show the damage to the plane in this series of clips - the loss of the forward fuselage and the loss of the right wing tip. You'll just have to imagine it.

This is an animation tool, not the flight simulator. I'm having a little trouble with the paint job on the plane - the tail should be red.
