Florida Learjet Crash: The Tail Question & Unfair Pilot Blame
Captain Steeeve and Kennedy Steve break down Sunday’s Learjet crash in Florida, including one of the biggest questions surrounding the accident: did part of the tail separate before impact, and what would that mean? They also address the conversation surrounding the female co-pilot, why people are getting it wrong, and why hearing someone on the radio doesn’t tell you who was flying the airplane. With the investigation still developing, they discuss the difference between asking questions and jumping to conclusions. Then, they turn to United Airlines adding new routes and share their thoughts on the airline’s expanding network. Comment and let us know what topics we should include, and SUBSCRIBE!
