I thought this was a part 91 flight. Wasn't his kid flying the plane with
him in the right seat?

How's that a 135 operation?

I think you're confusing the Wellstone crash (charter flight
operating under part 135, flown by pilot who lied about his
prior training and experience into icing conditions) with
the Carnahan crash (pt 91 flight)

Even so, it's a mischaracterization of the latter. Randy Carnahan
was a commercial multiengine pilot and practicing lawyer over the
age of 21, not usually described as "kid". Mel Carnahan was a commercial
SE pilot not qualified to fly the C310 involved in the crash, and
while seating is unknown it's the testimony of friends that it was
his habit to sit in the back during such flights.

FWIW
