“I suspect the plane slide in from left to right as viewed in that picture. It may have rotated after hitting the ground.”
Yes, and you can see where the plane came through the fence at the left edge of the picture. You can see part of the fence on the ground too.
From article but they may have just put in stock photo?
“...they and instructor...”
How many student pilots were there?
Ma! Another bird flew into the window!
How do you know it is a “he”?
The town of Lake Worth, Tx, was less than 5000 residents in 2019 and is located on a peninsula surrounded on three sides by water, and they had time to eject but still hit a residential section with a free-flier instead of aiming it a the water before ejecting? I see a whole lot of pilot error here just by making bad decisions. The NTSB and the military will have a hard time “splaining this one.

...whoever posted this picture doesn’t know s**t from Shinoa if they want us to believe this is a picture of this crashed T-45 trainer....BTW, all United States military aircraft (fixed wing, of course), display the standard Star and Bars insignia on the top of the left wing and underneath the right wing..... the A/C in this picture does NOT show this... this is a bogus picture...!!
.....oh, come on.... they are being politically correct.... we don’t approve of the use of “he” or
“she” or “him” or “her” any longer, you troglodyte....!!
using “they” covers all of the 57 or so accepted genders.....
The primary trainer was likely a T6 Texan and not a T45 based on the supposed picture.
Official Navy confirms a T45 went down, so picture of aircraft in backyard does not appear to be accurate or the same incident.
....Hunhhhhh....? when was the last T-6 Texan used as a primary trainer by any of the United States Armed Forces....? long before any of us who are alive today (well, most of us....)...the only ex-Air Force or Navy T-6 birds flying today are seen at airshows and the like, or they are in aviation museums.......
Probably training someone from a different military.
559th Flying Training Squadron
The 559th FTS provides T-6A Pilot Instructor Training. The squadron flies more than 16,000 hours annually in a fleet of 38 T-6A aircraft and qualifies more than 200 U.S. Air Force, Navy, Marine and allied pilots annually.
I would think the instructor would be the acting Aircraft Commander. The Aircraft Commander should be the last person to eject.
During my High-Altitude Chamber training, I was brief the Aircraft Commander is the one who should leave the Aircraft last. He is the one who gives the order to eject and the last to eject.
This will be an interesting investigation.
Pic in post #4 does appear to be the T45 burned up. You can clearly see the outline of the cockpit down to the engines.
If the pic in post4 is correct.
Post #4 is correct, but Pos#7 is not of this incident and is what caused some confusion as it appears to be an unrelated T6A accident footage.
In reality the Pic in Post#7 appears to not even be a T6A.
Landing on power lines might...
