I’m a pilot and it’s very unforgiving. You’d better be on you r game very single time your in that airplane.

There were radical climbs and descents in the flight data.

There was a nascar racer that died in the north east a. Few years ago as well Busch series as I recall. Flew out of my airport at the time.

Had a family friend die in a small jet not long ago because of a defect in the way the parking brake worked , known issue w that airplane for years, he’d still have made it if it hadn’t been for a company putting up a new utility pole that was 10 ft taller than the old one at the end of the runway.

There’s so many tragic crashes and quite often you’d be amazed. You just don’t hear about all of them
Just higher profile ones.


Sadly when you’re flying a high dollar aircraft you think your safer the you really are. , the technology in manny cases causes the issues.

May the RIP sad to see anyone go out like this …
