This contains an angle on the story that I'd never heard befo that
Holly's pilot radioed another pilot that he was in trouble just before

Given a non-instrument rated pilot flying night IMC during conditions
conducive to icing (in a non-ice certified a/c), I would say that he was in
trouble *long* before the crash.
