Do you suppose the Navajo's landing gear fell flat to the ground or was this a random hit as it tumbled? (See image.) I'm thinking "flat" because that's why they put fins on bombs (to keep them from falling crosswise to the relative wind.)

Provides scale. Non-aviation person may not understand the size of the unit.

Also, it looks cool on the cop FB page...
