He was also not particularly bright, which is why magazine was floundering, and why he decided to fly his small plane over water in the dark, despite his lack of experience as a pilot.
JFK Jr. killed himself with his own stupidity and hubris. The Clintons didn't have to bother. If he had lived to run, the Clintons would have found a another senate race to run Hillary in.
“...and why he decided to fly his small plane over water in the dark, despite his lack of experience as a pilot.”
This is incorrect.
The plane he flew he was not totally familiar with, that is true, but he requested and waited a long time for an instructor to fly with him. He got the instructor.
Extremely unlikely he was ‘goofing around’ while flying as the newspapers suggested, since JFK, Jr. had a reputation of being very careful and thorough when he flew.
The search parties took an extraordinarily long time to get to the downed plane, and when they did, the front passenger seat was missing, and it appeared the device that controlled the fuel to the engines had been in the ‘off’ position.
I stand to be corrected, but this is the information I was given and I believe to be true.
