Crash simulations

[RiverAux]

How about some photos of your best simulated airplane wreckage used during SAREXs?

Really, nothing?

One very inexpensive, but accurate, depiction of a crashed airplane is to take your weeks trash out and throw it on the ground.  Really approximates what I have seen at most crash sites.  Of course, your local law enforcement folks might take exception to the practice.

Don't have any photos, but have used rigid styrofoam insulation for crash simulations. It's lightweight and easy for one person to deploy. You can arrange the pieces to simulate wings and debris, and it looks pretty good from above.

That is a very timely piece of advice!  I was just about to get rid of some old Styrofoam panels, now I will instead make an airplane with them!

How does it stand up to the outdoors? Will water ruin it?

Don't know, we pick it up after the SAREX and put it in storage.

Here's one - sort of .. ;-) If I were to have "chased" it, it would be like a dog chasing it's tail ..

This is looking down on a "182", that fits in a large tube.

It's plastic tarp like material cut in three pieces, that form a 1:1 scale C-182.

..and the same as above, it's "twin" - at another location during the same SAREX

Don't have an aerial photo that I can find, but this is the IAWG Crashed airplane....

It is an old airframe on a trailer with removable wings and tail.
