As I recall these idiots were trying to shoot an eagle. IMHO they

You haven't recalled one thing right so far. There was no alcohol, no
other people involved. And hunting eagles from a plane? That doesn't
even make sense. Hunting coyotes from aircraft is an everyday event out
here.

The one I read involved alcohol for sure. I don't think the eagle was
their first objective, but decided to take a shot at it. It was a
Cessna they had removed the window latch from so they could fully open
the window. One passenger survived for a short period of time, the
others did not. I did not see an NTSB report on it, only what I read in
a book.
