Similar to the Sea World helicopter crash.
If both aircraft were maintaining runway heading, the collision could only have occurred over the runway intersection as that is the only point their paths would intersect. If that did happen, it seems highly unlikely the Jab would have impacted where it did in the direction it did. One or both of them has obviously turned during their respective take off/go arounds, probably both to the left. My spit balling is the collision probably happened somewhere over the dam, hardstand or tree line in the area to the north of the intersection, where the tug would have come up on the Jab even more from the right rear quarter as they turned. Momentum and aerodynamics then
could have put the Jab where it ended up. Looking down forward and left, I reckon the Pawnee would have a pretty big blind spot, and the Jab pilot would have to be looking back over his right shoulder.
