4 Gals a side! not caring about legal reserves then? whats the unsuable on a Seneca, can't be far off?
Maybe the crash pilot was trying to glide into the valley and the ridge got in the way? raised nose to 'hop' over and bam, stall, flop.
Still very sad when family trips end like this, happen in Queenstown here in NZ ti think it was a very low hours ME pilot tried to take a nice fast 402 (i think) out with the family, over loaded and i think came to grief not far from the end of the runway.
Anybody know how many hours the pilot had on type?
