Teoricamente cayeron juntos asi que los restos no deben estar muy lejos???Buscando informacion en Pprune en el topic de Malvinas Crash Sites encontre esto escrito por el forista SARGS (pagina 9),I’ve followed your posts with respect to the two Skyhawks lost in the Jasons on the 9th May 1982 with interest. A couple of points, in the spirit of debate, if I may:There is definitely at least one A-4 on South Jason Island, at approximately 51 12 21.67S 60 53 27.18W. I first visited this wreck on 29th December 1993 – I remember it well because I had to be winched from a Sea King onto the hillside! I was trying to determine if it was one or two aircraft, but I didn’t have long enough on the hill to decide. On the 12th January 2001 an EOD team visited the island to dispose of any live ordnance that had become apparent since their last visit (those visits were annual then), in our Sea King we were able to land on the ridge to drop them off but you wouldn’t have got a Chinook on there. The EOD team actually set fire to the island by mistake – it created a real upset with the conservationists, and questions were asked in the British Parliament. I (and many others) spent the next 5 days trying to water-bomb the fire out, together with the Chinook crew from 78 Sqn with their very impressive bucket! This A-4 hit the North West side of the ridge heading Easterly. In my (unprofessional) opinion it was a CFIT by an aircraft heading INBOUND to the islands – this was supported in my mind by the EOD team I spoke to after my first visit in 1993 who informed me South Jason was the location of at least one unexploded 1000-pounder on their list of “interesting things to find”. I can’t see the “distinctive tail, debris field, and poss drop tanks” you refer to on Steeple Jason (19 miles away to the NW). I have to say though, I can’t see any of these items on the crash site on South Jason either, so I’d be surprised if you could see them on Google Earth KG86 – could you have been hovering on the South Jason ridge? Your description of a “circular saw” is classic South Jason. Happy New Year, regards to all on this fantastic thread.</blockquote>
