Tragic Plane Crash Claims Lives of 'Flying Wild Alaska' Pilot and Hunting Guide.

Jim Tweto, the star of Discovery Channel's "Flying Wild Alaska" series, and Shane Reynolds, a hunting and fishing guide from Idaho, died in a small plane crash near the coastal village of Shaktoolik, Alaska. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff, and the National Transportation Safety Board is investigating. Tweto was a co-owner of Hageland Aviation Services and then Era Alaska, which later became Ravn Air Group. Reynolds operated Northwest Fishing Expeditions. Tweto, 68, died doing what he loved, and Reynolds, 45, was a friend of the Tweto family.
