Both men were experienced pilots: Nahom received his certification to fly in 2016, and Hustad received his in 1974, according to the FAA. At this point, it is not clear who was in the pilot’s seat although pilots are able to fly a plane from either seat. Records show Nahom is the registered agent of the aviation company that owns the plane. He had the plane, a Beachcraft Bonanza, listed for sale for $299,000.
