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.

It isn't a privilege, it is called hard work. And it absolutely makes me a better person.

Never in the history of mankind has a Christian been allowed to walk into Afghanistan, Iran, or any other Muslim country ruled by Sharia law and run for office on Christian values. They would be executed for it.

Yet we allow people who believe in that same system to come here, live here, and run for office to represent us.

That is not tolerance. That is national suicide.

It makes zero sense that someone who is fully dependent on the government gets an equal say in how the government spends everyone else's money. If you're on welfare, you shouldn't be voting on policies that fund your lifestyle. It's a massive conflict of interest.

[Wall Street Mav @WallStreetMav]

Only taxpayers should be allowed to vote.

Anyone on welfare benefits should forfeit their right to vote until they are off of government assistance.

[Libs of TikTok @libsoftiktok]

BREAKING: 44 members of Congress, led by @RepMaryMiller, have signed onto a letter DEMANDING that the national census ONLY count American CITIZENS and NOT illegal aliens.

This 100% needs to happen.

Illegal aliens are not Americans. Counting them dilutes the voice of the American people.

This is how Democrats cheat

@GovernorVA You are utterly racist and sexist regarding White men. Shame on you!

[Jon Root @JonnyRoot_]

It’s incredibly refreshing to watch every single player stand for the National Anthem during the World Series, with their hand over their heart in honor & respect for America & the military members who served/are serving & those that paid the ultimate sacrifice.

Take notes @AtlantaDream & @valkyries. This is how it’s done.

[Bad Hombre @Badhombre]

You accepted a lake house in exchange for letting Hillary steal the Democrat nomination from you. You’re a cheap date and a cuck, Bernie.

[J @JayTC53]

🚨 Leslie Stahl of 60 Minutes says "There are very few non citizens that vote in elections, so what's the purpose?"

There are thousands of ongoing cases of illegal alien voter fraud. It's also NEVER been investigated before until the Trump administration 2.0 because Democrats only win by cheating in elections.

60 minutes should be ashamed of themselves for continuing to employ such an airhead.

Thankfully @HarmeetKDhillon shut her ridiculous inquiry down in epic fashion 👏🏼

[Catturd ™ @catturd2]

You set-up, framed, and spied on an incoming President. You should set this one out Hussein.

Move to Mexico. They don’t have a Second Amendment & gun ownership is massively restricted. I’m sure Mexico has zero gun violence after civilians gave up their guns

"That's not democracy. That's a purchase order." Cute line, Elizabeth. Let's read the Democratic purchase orders out loud.

Start with yours. 2020, your presidential campaign is collapsing after Iowa and New Hampshire. A super PAC called Persist PAC shows up to rescue you. 96% of its money came from one Silicon Valley megadonor. One check. $14.6 million. Donors hidden until after Super Tuesday. You'd spent the whole primary telling everyone super PACs were corruption. Then you took the purchase order.

Now the rest of the catalog.

George and Alex Soros: $103.7 million this cycle alone, $102 million of it dumped into a single Democratic super PAC.

Majority Forward, the dark money nonprofit tied to your own Senate leader Chuck Schumer: $102 million. Donors? Secret.

House Majority Forward: $61.7 million. Donors? Also secret.

Michael Bloomberg: around $1 billion on his own 2020 primary, $100 million for Biden in Florida, and still writing eight-figure checks in 2026.

Reid Hoffman: $11.5 million into one super PAC for one Texas Senate race.

Bill Gates: reportedly around $50 million to a pro-Harris group in 2024.

Pritzker, Moskovitz, Steyer, Hastings: millions upon millions, cycle after cycle.

Kamala Harris: over $1 billion raised in under three months. Lost anyway.

Musk's money is disclosed, public, and on the front page of the New York Times article you just linked. Which, by the way, says $276 million, not "nearly $300 million." Schumer's money sits in an anonymous nonprofit nobody can see inside.

So which one is the purchase order, Elizabeth?

For twenty years, billionaire money was "saving democracy." Now it's "buying Congress." The only thing that changed is whose name is on the check.

Why would immigration enforcement discourage voter turnout

Be very specific

[Hammer🇺🇲 @HammertheNails]

The four biggest killers in human history are communism, socialism, islam, and abortion. Democrats support them all. Very telling.

And all we ask for is a 2 cent per dollar reduction in government spending and you avoid it like the plague
