04 or 22? To recap, PX 73 schedule is Dep PNI 0850 LT Arr TKK 0855 LT ( pni 1 hour ahead of tkk). Chock to chock time of 1 hour 5 minutes. On 28 Sep departure was delayed 31 minutes to 0921, thus ETA TKK was now 0926 as confirmed by Emilio,TKK Airport Mgr who also said it went into the lagoon at 0930 which sounds possible. The 0850 Metar (wind vrb 05 kts, if picked up by PX73 would have been halfway into the flight . Metars at 0940 and 0955 (wind 040 07 kts) were after the flight arrived/crashed. That wreckage visible in the USN video, engine cowling or some fairing from fuselage bottom?
