Sorry to hear about your friend's friend. The Grumman Goose is a cool old plane, WWII era.

I'm a pilot also, and sounded like the weather that they flew into had not been forecasted. It makes you realize how fast things can happen when you are up in the air. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and their families.

The weather was forecast the day before to expect 4-6" of snow. I drove over the pass about six hours before the plane went down, it was snowing then. There is a 24 hour camera on Lost Trail Pass that shows weather conditions on the net.

Sorry for your loss. From what the paper said it sounds like he went down trying to minimize danger from the crash.
