Warbird Information Exchange

An FAA airworthiness inspector reported that after the Navajo landed, he approached the occupants and asked who they were. After identifying themselves, he then asked if they owned the Hawker Hunter that just crashed, and the owner said yes he did. He then asked that individual if he knew where the maintenance records were for the airplane, and the owner reported that they were on the crashed airplane. The FAA inspector further reported that he asked the owner if he could remain in the area until the FAA had a chance to interview him, and he replied that he would.

The FAA inspectors then traveled to the accident site and were there about 1 to 2 hours. Upon returning to the airport, the Navajo, along with the owner and the two other people had departed.

Here is the ntsb report it makes it sound like the 3 persons in the navajo
1 being the owner (who didn't have the paperwork to fly the plane),and 2 unlicensed mechanics ( who had just worked on a fatal accident ) left the scene of the accident with out even retrieving their friends body or making statements.

I don't have their side of the story, and since I know them, I won't start conjectures on what they did, etc...
