I recommend that all JFK crash theorists read the NTSB report, available at: http://www.ntsb.gov/NTSB/brief.asp?ev_id=20001212X19354&key=1
JFK had 310 total hours, not 1000. Any airplane ever built will find its way into a spiral dive if not under human or autopilot control. Once the spiral starts it will almost always build up speed. Just the unfamiliar sound of increasing wind noise is enough to alarm a pilot, even one with several hundred hours, if he has not experienced it before and has no visual reference to "straight and level" which was highly possible in this case according to reports from other pilots flying in the area.
In the past 50 years of availability of high performance airplanes to people with the means to buy them, there have been hundreds of similar fatal accidents, namy of them at night; the pilot doesn't come back to tell what his thoughts or reactions were. Often the airplane breaks up in the air due to overstress loads when the design speed is exceeded, and the press reports a "midair explosion". I lost a friend this way. His Beech Bonanza was scattered over about a mile. The last thing he told me was that he was going to have the flight instruments overhauled so he could begin working on his instrument rating.
Have you noticed that people who run against Bill and Hillary end up with prostate cancer? I admit that it's common for men that age anyways, but I can't help thinking of Hillary's connection to that loony Haitian leader and voodoo practitioner. It's somehow easy to imagine her with a voodoo doll of Bob Dole or Rudy Giuliani, sticking needles in their "privy members." She's an Illuminist witch and has always been the power behind Bubba.

Can you please elaborate and ping me on this? Thanks!
Mr. Paul should stay away from private jets for a while.
This should be great!!
Fair to say Drudge will pick it up late this afternoon and Rush launches the next salvo tommorrow? This is going to be fun.
Well, he did try to lighten the load by dumping luggage for miles before the crash.
Nothing to see here.
Has Peter Paul ever been tried/sentenced for his stock fraud actions or is he still incarcerated awaiting court actions and singing like a bird to the investigators?
BUMP
"I believe the Clintons will ultimately meet the same sort of end as the Ceaucescus of Romania. They will one day be completely unmasked and unveiled for all of the evil they have done, and their fate will be sealed once and for all. Believe that."
I for one happen to agree with you. Good comparison with
the Ceaucescus!!
Wellstone's death brought out the 'Woodstock' in them! I think they would have all had group-sex if it wasn't so cold.
Anybody know what station the Hannity show is on in the Boston area?
bump / ping! :)
JFK Jr. was not instrument rated. As a VFR only pilot in instrument conditions, he would not trust his instruments information. His "seat of pants' instrumentation most likely caused him to ignore airspeed and pitch up into a stall. A fatal stall in the clouds to his doom.
No one would waste time on snuffing this fool. He took care of himself.
You're right about conspiracies. Many things were "conspiracies" at one time. Like the harmful effects of Agent Orange for example.
Bump!Doug, I thought we were on a ping list for the Peter Paul series ???
bttt. Sounds like a great show.
True true, when it comes to the Kennedys, natural selection can`t help but make a move. "The Mafia can`t hurt me!" Boom! "Trees can`t hurt me!" BOOM! "Drugs can`t hurt me!" BOOM "Planes can`t hurt me!" BOOM
Sure he did! All beginning pilots are taught that if you get in trouble, you climb into the back where the luggage is stowed and find some way to pitch it out of the plane!
WTF are you talking about?
