I am pretty sure I see a prop. The wing makes me wonder if it is a Super Tucano.

I’m guessing Texan II out of Whiting I think you are right. The wing that's visible in the pic looks like it. It looks to be the trailing edge shown. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Doesn’t look like prop was turning Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I think you are right. The wing that's visible in the pic looks like it. It looks to be the trailing edge shown. Doesn’t look like prop was turning No not at all. Looks like it might be in the process of feathering. I would guess from the way the wreckage is orientated in the pic that it came in toward the camera nose down but not anywhere close to a nose dive. You can see it hit a tree and a fence. I would guess somewhere in the 30 to 40 ish degree nose down angle causing the rear section of the aircraft to fold up into the forward section, Hence the reason you would be looking at the trailing edge of the wing facing the prop like that. But that is just a guess. |

If it went straight in, it was possibly a conscience decision on the part of the aircrew. Catastrophic mechanical failure with seconds to react leaves two options. Either try to have a controlled crash by gliding and hopefully cause minimum death and destruction on the ground, or point the nose straight down and keep the deaths to the absolute minimum possible.
Definitely a no win situation for the aircrew. May God comfort their families in this time of loss. Fair winds and following seas. |

We see those trainer planes flying all over Baldwin county. There’s dozens of small airfields they use, and they do touch and goes at Brookley just over the fence from us. Navy and Coast Guard pilots train in that program I believe

This is it. https://globe.adsbexchange.com/?icao=ae54e1&lat=30.405&lon=-87.772&zoom=11.8&showTrace=2020-10-23
Last altitude recorded was 3900ft. Why would the transponder have stopped transmitting so suddenly at altitude? https://flightaware.com/live/flight/BB207 |

Not the first time aviators/pilots have chosen to ride it in, or rode it in too far, trying to avoid casualties on the ground. Had an A-7 do it here in the Atlanta area back in the early '90's, stayed with the plane until they cleared an apartment complex and then ejected too low to survive (it may have rolled, it's been a while). The military has procedures and improvements trying to reduce the risks of military aviation, but it's always been a dangerous endeavor, which is why the claims that Bush "avoided the dangers of Vietnam" by going to be a pilot in a VERY unforgiving aircraft annoy me. |
