Without consulting a map, I'd say the location at Kirtland is around 500-550 miles from the point of estimated break up (the point halfway between Amarillo and Lubbock).

Rick Husband was from Amarillo and I think the pilot was from Lubbock. If the track was half way between those towns they passed right over Earth, TX and very near the little town of Halfway, TX. Very close to home.
