Chris,

Thanks for posting that sad photo, and the information that goes along with it.

It's been a while since anyone posted anything, so it is nice to have something fresh....

Just added two more photos. Note the the tail cone - is that part of the Hayes mod?

I don't have lists here in front of me but that might be a TB-25K modification; possibly a radar or other electronic equipment mounted in the tail.
