I saved this post from milcom regarding the F16 crash, and have asked the poster if he has any more information regarding the location of the crash. Regarding finding airplane parts, maybe a metal detector is something to add to the Groom "visitors" toolbox. I knew someone who had one of these detectors and would hit the beach looking for wedding bands and rings. He claimed you could differentiate between the various types of metal. [The only thing that comes to mind is different metals have different electromagnetic permiability (sp), if you recall your physics.] Apparently, on August 8 sometime late afternoon,two F-16's from the 422TES BOAR 2 A-10 57WG orbiting crash site 282.8 CSAR Haven't seen anything about this in the paper yet,but has been reported on
