The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) has released the preliminary report into a fatal accident earlier this month involving a Piper PA-18-150 (Super Cub) in steep terrain 60 miles northwest of Skwentna, Alaska. Both the pilot and passenger were killed.
On August 6, the pilot and two sheep hunters departed from the Big Lake Airport (PAGQ), Big Lake, Alaska, in a Cessna 206 to scout the Dillinger River area for a possible hunting location and a suitable landing area for the pilot’s PA-18.
