I've read this was a 172P model (but not confirmed it). I'm still
trying to figure out how they got four adults into the plane with a
valid W&B.


Are you guys sure it was forced down by the feds? It could have been
helped down by a gravity hole...


empty wt = 1470 mom = 57330
25 gal fuel = 150 mom = 6900
frt pass & pilot = 325 mom = 13650
rear pass = 290 mom = 21170
"luggage" = 120 mom = 11400
---------------------------------
totals = 2355 lbs 110450 lb/ins (C.G. @ 46.9)


Assuming that the passengers were a little on the small side, it could be
done.
