The pilot, in the right seat, took off ina driving rainstorm, in the thin air of an unfamiliar high-altitude airport, with thefuel-air mixture improperly set and the plane carrying almost a hundred pounds over itscertified weight limit. Without ever reaching a safe airspeed, he made a climbing rightturn into likely wind shear, lost control of the plane, and plunged into the ground. He,Jessica and Jessica's father, in the back seat, were all killed instantly.
