Oh no, not again!.....................
Didn’t this same thing happen just last week?...............
Update 2:06 p.m. — Rochester Democrat & Chronicle reporting that the plane is registered to Rochester developer Larry Glazer.
Glazer has development projects in Naples, Florida where the plane was originally headed.
Sounds like these two pilots were the victims of hypoxia..condolences to their families
The pilots and anyone else on the plane were likely dead. This is what happens when a plane at high altitude loses compression. It flies on autopilot until it runs out of fuel.
I wonder where the F-15s were from? Is there an airbase near Miami? It seems there should be.
Probably a little expensive to build an mandatory warning system for aircraft, canary would be cheaper, but it probably couldn’t withstand many G’s but hypoxia can be fatal if one doesn’t recognize the symptoms in time to go on oxygen or get to a lower altitude.
We now have two fairly recent incidents indicating hypoxia overcame people before they were aware of the problem. In the AF we trained by actually experiencing hypoxia to become aware of our own personal symptoms, and even then there is no guarantee. Oddly enough todays plane was flying at the exact altitude I trained at back in the day, in the altitude chamber.

A little more than two months ago an unexplained private plane crash killed another East Coast beloved philanthropist and nice guy, Lewis Katz and several others. He, too, was a giant of community service and giving. Katz was not the pilot, but the professional pilot was very experienced.
