No, but better pictures, fire not apparent in these.
Very sad.

Not only is it difficult to see evidence of fire in the photos, there is a photo of a farm tractor with what may be a shattered piece of aircraft resting on it......

A terrible tragedy for all involved, thoughts are with the families.

Wasn't the first crash that plane experienced (1 Sep 14). Also noticed there have been 6 owners of that plane in 10 years.

FAA records indicate both N419B and N464EH, as well as a third aircraft, a Piper, are owned by the same individual. And both of the above airplanes are RV-6As.

Same airplane, different tail numbers?

No, they appear to be different RVs, different builders, different engines, different year of manufacture.

I used to fly out of Elmdale- tiny little field. Winds can be bad in Abilene too.
