U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola, D-Alaska, two years ago was overloaded with moose meat and antlers, federal investigators said this week. Eugene “Buzzy” Peltola Jr., 57, was piloting a Piper PA 18-150 Super Cub when it went down in the mountains northeast of St.

Investigators have released an inquiry into the fatal crash in a mountainous area, where Eugene Peltola Jr., the husband of former U.S. Representative Mary Peltola, was killed in 2023.

A fatal plane crash in Alaska in 2023 may have been caused by excess moose meat and antlers on board, according to a newly-released report.
