ANCHORAGE, Alaska — U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola’s husband has died in an airplane crash in western Alaska, the latest fatality involving politicians or their loved ones in the nation’s largest state where flights are common because of a limited road system.
Alaska State Troopers identified Peltola, 57, as the pilot and plane’s sole occupant in a statement. Two hunters who were at the scene but not involved in the crash provided medical care to Peltola. It was not immediately known where the plane took off from or where it was headed before the crash, she said.
Peltola received his commercial pilot’s license in 2004, requiring him to use corrective lenses at all distances, according to a Federal Aviation Administration database. The plane’s FAA registry shows the Super Cub was manufactured in 1952 and Bruce Werba of Holy Cross, Alaska, is the owner.
