Good Analysis

Excellent Analysis.
The oxygen one was most amazing, pilot died, but passenger lived. That's probably the only reason they figured out what happened. Breathing compressed Air. 18% O2.

A note on icing. Winter before last I was learning to fly our skymaster, and working on IFR rating at the same time. One of my training flights was night, in IMC with rain/ice. Landed with 4 inches of ice on the front of the radome. The deice boots worked, but we had so much airframe ice that the airplane had to be pitched up to maintain altitude. Not something I will ever do again. Many of them have de-ice boots on, but none of them are certified for flight into known ice.
