Too much moose meat was factor in plane crash that killed Alaska lawmaker’s husband

Antlers strapped to a wing also caused small plane that Mary Peltola's husband was piloting to crash in 2023

Antlers strapped to a wing and too much moose meat on board caused a small plane crash that killed the husband of then Alaska Democratic congresswoman Mary Peltola in 2023, according to a US national transportation safety board (NTSB) report that was recently released.

Though the report doesn't name him, Eugene Buzzy" Peltola Jr was the pilot and lone person on the Piper PA-18 plane involved in the deadly wreck, which occurred near St Mary's, Alaska, on 12 September 2023, officials had previously said.
