Nothing has been said about an engine out, but "unable to maintain altitude"
doesn't make sense if both engines were running...and there certainly wasn't
any ice in Eastern Washington that night.

AirPac is a good outfit, great people to work for.

I've flown with the this pilot a couple of times. He and his friend,
who I've also flown with, joined AirPac a few months ago.

I understand from the news that AirPac had another crash a few months
ago.


I also have flown with him, and knew him. Man it is depressing finding
out the pilot is someone you know.

AirPac had a crash earlier this year, and a failed nose gear recently.
However, I would not speculate on the cause, until the NTSB does their
job. I am fairly sure that the FAA/NTSB are looking at all aspects of it.
