This is a classic line from the media:

"The pilot of the plane checked weather between Bloomfield and Jonesboro, Arkansas before the flight. However because of the size of the plane they were not required to file a flight plan."

"It was a low wing two engined Cessna 150 and the pilot hadn't filed a flight plan !!"

Two engined Cessna 150?

That's it - I'm hitting the FAA STC Database! That sounds like a heck of a mod!

I bet the single-engine performance sucks.

(Alternately, I wonder what spinning that would be like...)
