At this point, you have read the original story, or you are a liar. Assuming you have read Tom's story, he mentions an F15 crash. Looking at the topo maps, this site is the easiest to explore, both from a standpoint of 4WD and travel on foot. If you recall Peter Merlin's second law of crash sites, this could be a very easy adventure. These photos are from the F15E crash site.
This photo shows the point of impact, which is the area of sparse growth on the hillside. That is where you can find many small pieces of debris, either metal or broken printed circuit boards The site has been picked very clean, either by the USAF or scavengers, so don't expect to find much of the plane.
I placed my GPS in the photos of debris to help identify the size of the objects. A mysterious Gaussian blur appeared over my GPS, obscurring the exact location of each photo.
This hose is not exactly near the point of impact, and might be from a different crash.
Through email correspondence with Tom Mahood, he had a few more details regarding the crash:
The site you found at (deleted) was the site of an F-15E crash. It crashed
at 2:40 PM on 10 August 1992. Both crew members were killed. The pilot
was Maj. Bruce Netardus from El Campo, TX. The weapons system officer was
Lt. Col. Wendell Johnson, from Greensboro, NC. They were assigned to the
57th fighter wing F-15 division, where Netardus was a flight commander and
Johnson was the operations officer.
