Two things they got wrong. The crash site is in Ky not Tn. The crash site is east of M34, not west. I doubt he ever had M34 in site from 10 mi. Runway lights have to be turned on with ctaf, which he didn't know. Their is a beacon however. My guess is that if he saw a bunch of lights it was either Barkley Dam or Kentucky Dam. They have a million lights and Kentucky Dam has very tall transmission towers with large blinking lights that I can see from 50 miles when returning on a clear night.
Also M34 sits in a low swamp. If there is mist/fog anywhere around it is at the airport.
Interesting read...been waiting for this to come out since it happened. There was a post-crash fire (even if small) and it sounds as if the left engine was still operating at the time of impact.
