According to the following extract from the (redacted/censored) official USAF report into the incident:
"Aircraft 82-1042 impacted the ground shortly after the mid-air collision that occurred at 0928 CDT on 23 June 1993. The crash site was four miles east of Ipava, Illinois. The aircraft was inverted at a flat pitch angle with low forward velocity, and with a slight right yaw (when viewed from-above the inverted wreckage) indicating an inverted right spin. The nose radome attached to the avionics section (forward and lower equipment bays) included the front cockpit rudder pedals was found 4,800 feet away from the main aircraft structure."
