Thank you for an educated post!!!
Writing this in my personal capacity, but I have been flying these types of aircraft for more than 20 years, with over 8,000 hours, and have reasonable familiarity with how the charter world operates. I feel compelled to post after seeing commentary about the Lear 60 crash, from missile strikes to DEI to critiquing this poor woman’s final radio calls. That last part is what I find most troubling. She was the second-in-command (SIC), and while she was empowered to point out mistakes as part of good crew resource management, she was doing her job, communicating with ATC right to the end in a terrifying situation. She likely knew before many of those calls that she was going to die. I have heard final calls from friends, from military pilots with thousands of hours in fighter aircraft, and they are just as heartbreaking because they know the end is approaching. I understand the public interest given the footage and audio. But you do not know the aircraft’s maintenance history, whether there was a structural failure, if any failure was induced by turbulence, overspeed, or overcontrol, or everything happening in that cockpit. I am sure weather will be part of the investigation, but beyond that, it is speculation. The charter industry routinely hires commercial pilots very early in their careers to gain experience alongside an ATP-qualified captain before they move up to the airlines. She would still have the appropriate training, qualifications, and checkouts by an FAA examiner or designee. Let people investigate, learn, and share the facts. Be respectful to those who perished and the families who carry their memories. God bless them and their loved ones.

Awesome!!
Fox: Why are you here this morning? Trump rally attendee: Well, in the late 70s, I was a little too young to go to South America for the Jonestown Massacre. But this is as close as I'll ever get, so that's why I'm here. There's nothing like seeing a cult right up front.

What a f’ing moron!!!
RFK Jr: "We are also looking at chemtrails"
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
RFK Jr. referred to "chemtrails," a conspiracy theory alleging secret chemical spraying by aircraft. No evidence supports this; trails are condensation (contrails) and a 2016 peer-reviewed survey of 77 atmospheric experts found 76 had seen none for such programs. epa.gov/regulations-em… iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108… statnews.com/2026/09/17/rfk…

Trump: The crew named a lunar crater in loving memory of Reid's wife who we lost to cancer. I wish they'd name something like that after me. I like that

Can’t wait to see new equipment operating out there!!
First trials of our B747EW (Extended Wing) have proven to be successful. The final model will have wings extending to eight times the current length. Each wing will be equipped with ten chemtrail nozzles. Internal tanks will reduce passenger numbers. #Chemtrails #шучу

I'm no pilot but those flaps looked very retracted for a 9 hour flight.

Karoline Leavitt announced her resignation 24 hours after she found out that Trump left her for dead on a plane he thought could be shot out of the sky.

Northing abnormal here Of course, our skies are always covered in chemical trails It's as if some people are just not capable of processing what's happening, denial or something else? Whatever it is, the people behind this must just love how easy humanity is making it for them

BREAKING: President Trump says gas could fall to $2.50 a gallon if the Strait of Hormuz fully reopens. Open the shipping lanes, crush Iran’s leverage, and bring energy prices down for American families. Trust Trump!
