Is that a photo taken just before the accident? It is so clear and defined it almost looks like a stock photo.

Someone questioned it on yesterday's thread, based on reflections visible in the shiny spinner, the lack of pilot, and the deployed tail wheel. However, it was taken by (and presumably vouched for) by Tim O'Brien, for the Grass Valley Union.

Thanks for your reply. Please understand I am not questioning the validity of the photo - I’m just amazed that such a clear photo was taken of a plane moving at around 500 MPH!
