Wow, I didn't realize the A-36 Bonanza had a turbine conversion. That really reduces the odds of an engine failure. That said, the Caravan that recently went into the drink in Hawaii had a turbine engine. I was wondering how much fuel that acft had on board.
Being an experienced mountain pilot myself. I wondered if he had filed IFR or was sneaking around in the canyons low-level VFR like we've all done a time or two.
Tragic incident no matter what the cause was.
RIP all on aboard.
