Bering Air missing

[Cherokee_Cruiser]

I’m in ANC about to do a redeye to SEA. Breaking news here some people mentioned it, I just looked it up. Sad, hoping for the best. It’s cold as balls out here.

Wow. Rough week.

Terrible to hear.

Anyone know if it had boots, or TKS.
A booted van in ice is always a gamble.

Appears it was an EX which would be TKS.

I borrowed this from Facebook. The community in Noatak gathered to greet Bering Air and pray for them.

Also borrowed from FB in Kiana. Apparently villagers met the first flight in at almost every airport.

Prelim is out. The airplane was almost half a ton overweight. It seems like he might have gotten too slow after purposely slowing down to give the airport time to deice the runway before he arrived and that started the accident sequence. Being overweight and having light ice on the airframe probably didn't help in that condition.
