Cline gave $1 million to the Jeb Bush campaign, according to Wikipedia.

His family had also been threatened with death (extortion) a few years ago.

No word yet on who the others on the craft were.

Looks like the left is trying to reduce our donor base.

That is what I thought. I smell a Clinton. First Tony Rodam, then this. Tony because he was involved in some of the Clinton dirty deals, and or he had knowledge of them. This guy because he had donated to Conservatives in the past and could or would donate to President Trump. A potential source of embarrassment and a potential donor to President Trump have been eliminated. It is the Clinton M.O.

I have been a flying enthusiast since I was a kid, own a several hang gliders, two airplanes and live on an airport. But, I do not like flying in something that can go down with the failure of a single nut or bolt that wasn’t properly safety wired or just breaks. Helicopters are by far the easiest flying craft to sabotage by a factor of around ten. It doesn’t really matter much whether you are talking about a used homemade gyrocopter, or a $27 Million Super Puma, they all have vulnerable points that can be messed with that are difficult to detect in a preflight and impossible to figure out later in an accident investigation.

“Mr. Cline was a Republican supporter and donated $1 million to Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration celebration, the New York Times reported.”

I would not be surprised if this were no accident.

With a helicopter, any death is already adequately explained. This is especially true in the Caribbean.

BTW... this is in the Bermuda triangle.
