He was the pilot
Probably flew using his ears.
He was the pilot of a small plane and he was 72 years old. Concepts to consider...Small planes crash a lot. He displayed arrogant attitudes of leftist superiority towards Trump supporters. 72 years old denotes a lazy physiology. The plane may have been defective. The pilot may have been defective. Arrogance goes before the fall. Sometimes it is better to be humble and carefull. On the day Kobe went into the fog, all the other helicopters were grounded. Arrogance can be a problem.
