The most obvious damage on the remains of this plane (some visible at the left wing root, too), plus evidence of reuse of parts of the fuselage structure. The mishap occurred nearly 21 years before the photo date, when fuel starvation led to a crash landing just 0.5NM (some 900m) short of the Ft. Simpson runway.
