PAPAper PA-18–150 super cube crashed on 12, 2023 in the north-east of the small western Alaska community of St. Marriage. A few days ago, Peltola took five hunters, a guide and equipment from the Holi Cross community for an airstrip in St. Mary. The group set up a camp next to the runway, which was near the mountainous area and the agency said about 70 miles in the north -west of the Holi cross.
One day before the accident, the group found a mousse and planned through satellite messaging equipment with peltola, for the transportation of meat, NTSB said. On the day of the accident, Peltola had already lifted the meat load and returned to the other. The agency said they did not use scales to weigh cargo.

The report said that NTSB found about 150 pounds of meat in the front section of Bailey Pod after the accident. One of the hunters said that Peltola Junior told him that he would be running on the reserve fuel by returning to the Holi cross.
