(FOX 25 / MyFoxBoston.com) - A local aviation expert is weighing in on the horrible crash that has so far claimed nine lives in Reno, Nev. He says it boils down to one small, but very crucial piece of the plane.
Jim Baker, who has been flying for 60 years, wants to make it clear that this is only his opinion, but he feels confident that when the NTSB concludes its investigation, it will be consistent with his theory.
With the elevator in shambles, the 1940s-model plane pitched into the air, he says, and the lift stalled. It disintegrated without an explosion or fire, which could have made the tragedy that much worse. Baker said mustangs fly with very little weight, therefore very little fuel.
