This was the only piece of wreckage near the tail, looks like part of some control linkage.
Me with the tail section. Time to check out the other piece I saw from a distance, can't see it from here.
Looking back as I hike up the hill, I could see the Hart Mine Airport. The pilot of this Navajo was attemting to land on one of it's two dirt strips after running low on fuel when it crashed on this hillside.
Zoomed in on the east/west runway.
A wing on top of the hill.
Me with the wing section.
Turned out to be the right wing and a section of the burned out fuselage.
Another view of the wing. Looks like this was the impact area, some melted aluminum and a lot of little pieces scattered around. edit
The remains of the fuselage.
Rusty rear seat rails.
