Crash Angoon, AK

[AKBill]

April 9 Angoon crash, 3 killed , 1 survived

Bad year for us Alaskans, several fatal crashes. Hits me hard at home. Hopefully the lone survivor of this crash walks away with limited injury's to hart and soul.

Weather again is suspected!!!!!

Fly safe everyone

Looks as if it could have been a CFIT due to flat light.

'Flat light'? Or maybe just low visibility?

Cold, wx, terrain, you Alaskans got it all. Alaskan pilots must be really really good, otherwise a lot more of them would be dying.

Mustn't forget mosquito strikes. The mosquito is the Alaskan state bird.

Carb heat isn't very effective against them when they plug the intake, too.

Can you get IMC from a mosquito swarm? I guess it's like dust or smoke....
