That's a pretty long rope. You'd almost think someone wanted to tie something very large down with a rope that long.  You wouldn't suppose the Electra had some sort of kit to tie something down, would you?  Now where did that Luke Field Inventory run off to... And where was Nessie in relation to that find?  Hmm...

You ain't justa woofin' Richie.  I got vertigo just watching that full screen.  Kinda like flying in the clouds.  Maybe the flyer of that ROV had too much kickapoo joy juice before he sent it down there.  ;D

 When you get an ROV rating on your ticket, let me know.

A ingine to be precise  :)

I have a few hours of ROV stick time and I can tell you it's harder than it looks.

I am sure you are right Ric.  Having flown numerous types of aircraft, I couldn't fly a darn radio controlled plane to save my life.  I could take it off ok but returning it was a disaster.  I gave that hobby up in a hurry.  I am sure Marty can attest that it takes some skills to fly one of those things as well as a radio controlled ROV.   

Ya gotta love this Ric.

Rick and Pat, my sincere thanks for making the additional Niku VI footage available - the increased resolution, consecutive and added footage are a tremendous improvement! 

To my eyes there is a WEALTH of information in this new footage.  First posting - attached is an annotated snapshot at 13:41:25 frame 13.  To my eyes we're looking at NR16020 interior fuselage with right fuel tank plumbing and left fuselage section around the cabin door.  I think we also see the remains of one of parachutes lying on the left side of the cabin door frame. 

Sincerely, John

(note: updated to include cabin door image)

Would it be helpful or instructive for John, Tim, Richie and others who have posted so their observations on the forum in analyzing the Wire & Rope footage, to offer some rough estimates of typical or average thickness of sediment coating these possible aircraft parts? I think it would help those of us who are less capable and/or expert in photo analysis. Sediment buildup seems to mask just about everything, but it is virtually impossible for me to determine just how thick this actually is. Obviously, the original underlying shape and configuration of the encased objects are evident to these sharp-eyed forum observers, but no one to my knowledge has as yet commented re the thickness of the encasing sediment or coral. Also, and perhaps this has already been covered, but why is it that the wire/rope seems to be relatively free of sediment buildup? Perhaps it landed in-place more recently or perhaps it has constantly moved around and avoided corrosion?

Compare with what the Pioneer octant used by Noonan actually looks like here.

The thickness depends upon depth, and to a certain extent the verticality of the surface on which the sediment lands. If you observe the ROV landing and blowing off the sediment around time 13:37:30, you will see that it is not very thick. The scallop shell is identifiable even before the sediment is blown off by the ROV. Hope this helps.

Gary, thanks very much.  I was thinking sextant with bubble/artificial horizon.  I did a quick search of your site - very impressive by the way - but couldn't determine if FN used one.  There is a wealth of information on the TIGHAR website as well as your site - I will check it out.  Thank you!
