How can a flying AC "plunge" into ground WITHOUT a trace at its back???
Seems like it "perched" like a pelicano
Referencing Airbubba's crash site picture:
Looks like he landed on the road from right to left and either deliberately or inadvertently ground looped 90 degrees to the right.
The vegetation on the "left" side of the road is looking rather beaten up with a short fire trail leading up to the final resting spot of the aircraft.
Could also be that the short fire trail in the direction of probable approach resulted from burning fuel flowing down an irrigation ditch.
Perhaps a bigger tree further back on the road tore open a wing tank and started the fire which eventually engulfed the aircraft
