Didn't it have to do with cabin pressure? Sorta like what happened to Payne Stewart.
Also, wasn't Rein taken over a young Bobby Bowden? Didn't know all the details on that story.

Maybe, but the way it was explained to me is that it was company policy that the plane never flew without two pilots. That night it had one. Also, like commercial airliners it was equipped with masks that would drop down when the pressure decreased to a dangerous point.
Contrary to general policy the investigators would not cooperate with the owner of the airplane. He finally became so frustrated that he hired how own private investigators.
That is all I know.

Remember the story well. As I recall, he was returning from a recruiting trip in NW Louisiana. They took off for BR and the plane kept on flying on a northeasterly course. Somewhere over the east coast an AF fighter was scrambled to go up and observe. According to the pilot, he could look down into the lighted cockpit and observe the two sitting in the cockpit, obviously not moving having lost consciousness from oxygen deprivation. The AF aircraft followed them a distance out over the Atlantic, at which time it went down into the water. Very sad.
