Here's a quote from the NTSB report on JFK's accident. The term "target" refers to JKF's airplane:

A performance study of the radar data revealed that the target began a descent from 5,500 feet about 34 miles west of MVY. The speed during the descent was calculated to be about 160 knots indicated airspeed (KIAS), and the rate of descent was calculated to have varied between 400 and 800 feet per minute (fpm). About 2138, the target began a right turn in a southerly direction. About 30 seconds later, the target stopped its descent at 2,200 feet and began a climb that lasted another 30 seconds. During this period of time, the target stopped the turn, and the airspeed decreased to about 153 KIAS. About 2139, the target leveled off at 2,500 feet and flew in a southeasterly direction. About 50 seconds later, the target entered a left turn and climbed to 2,600 feet. As the target continued in the left turn, it began a descent that reached a rate of about 900 fpm. When the target reached an easterly direction, it stopped turning; its rate of descent remained about 900 fpm. At 2140:15, while still in the descent, the target entered a right turn. As the target's turn rate increased, its descent rate and airspeed also increased. The target's descent rate eventually exceeded 4,700 fpm. The target's last radar position was recorded at 2140:34 at an altitude of 1,100 feet. (For a more detailed description of the target's [accident airplane's] performance, see Section, "Tests and Research," Subsection, "Aircraft Performance Study.")

According to this section of the report, JFK Jr. was descending at about 160 knots just before crashing. His descent rate reached almost 1 mile per minute before the crash. There's no way that a twin-engine prop plane can reach speeds of 500 mph, and there's no way to sabotage such an airplane to make it go that fast. This doesn't mean there was no foul play involved in this crash, but I also read that spatial disorientation is one of the leading causes of airplane crashes that have been analyzed by the NTSB. That said, because this crash occurred during the Clinton Administration, I rule out nothing other than a 500 mph crash speed.

How interesting.

Wasn't it the NTSB that also tried to tell us that TWA Flight 800's 747 Jetliner flew on upwards for a couple of miles with its nose section completely blown off before it turned straight downward towards the Atlantic..?

A TWA Flight 800 747 Jetliner, filled with innocents, that just happened to go down in flames the very night before HILLARY-Hired White House Security Chief CRAIG LIVINGSTONE was set to testify in Congress on National TV that she had hired him to get her those FBI Files on Republicans in Congress, or to protect her instead with his pleading the 5th against self-incrimination.

The resultant cancelling of CRAIG LIVINGSTONE's TV Testimony in Congress that next morning, out of respect for the suddenly lost souls floating on the Atlantic, that allowed him to actually plead the 5th away from the glare of National TV Cameras over 3 weeks later.

Again,

'It's the TV, Stupid, no matter WHO pays for it'..?

Other JFK jr crash reports I've seen over the years show JFK jr's plane veering up about 30 degrees for a short time and then abruptly turning straight downward, fast. Those reports had him entering the Atlantic Ocean going over 500 mph.
Photos first shown in American Media, Inc Publications months after the crash show JFK jr's pilot seat blown staight backward. A 360 degree reverse of his seat with the top of his seat arched completely backwards, touching the forward tip of the undercarriage of his seat's bottom, like a pancake folded in half.

Looking for all the world to the reader like it had hit the surface of the Atlanitc going over 500 mph.
