They are both democrat hypocrites.

Too much weight? I recall from living in Alaska that was a common cause.

He should have just bought prime rib at Costco instead.

Well, let’s see - the Super Cub (with wheels) will lift about 750-800#. Less with those biga$$ tundra tires. Soooo, 500# meat + 200# pilot doesn’t leave much for “combustible” (as my South American friends call avgas). Avgas weighs about 6# per gallon. Do the math.

Antlers on the struts = no big deal.

Just goes to show moose can fly. Not for very long but...

One week after Alaska Representative Mary Peltola objects to Biden illegally canceling Energy Leases in Alaska, her husband dies in plane crash

Interesting timing.

Oddly he could have got away with being a bit over gross weight. Those damn moose antlers were an immense drag on the aircraft. I fly gliders in addition to power. My spoilers are far smaller than those antlers. When I deploy them I can make straight and level flight a 500 feet per minute decent. Pilot error and ignorance killed him.

“Friends used to call us ‘Moose & Squirrel’. It was a private joke.”

The antler rack below the right wing would very likely have changed the plane’s aerodynamic drag and lift coefficients, lowering the ability to climb and maintain directional stability, forcing compensatory control inputs.

It seems likely the plane would not have been able to carry even the previous flight’s weights, let along be able to fly with an extra 50-70lbs., as noted.

Dumb, da..dumb...dumb!

They both look familiar, for some reason, even though I don’t recognize the name.
