I get suspicious about these - a low time pilot, no experience or
instruction with aft CG, maybe a little show-off to the many friends on
board.

This was an 1800-hour CFI with paying customers on board.

In my flying club we have had military trained pilots run out of fuel
and also get themselves and passenger killed in GA aircarft.
Commercially rated and citation pilots have banged up aircraft too.

I have read NTSB reports where a CFI was on board and should have
known better. One local example was stuffing too many people in a
Cadet and flying out of high density altitude airport in the
mountains.

Complacency kills too. Its always surprising to see experienced
professionals overlook basics. But it happens. No question. Anyone
human is not immune to it.

We will have to see what the NTSB says in this case.
It could be no fault of the pilot at all also.
So sad two 18 year old girls on board.
