Christian diet guru Gwen Shamblin Lara, her husband and five other people may have been flying to a MAGA-themed event in Florida when their plane crashed, killing everyone on board, according to a report.

Kimberly Fletcher, who was reportedly due to speak at a “We The People: Patriot’s Day” rally, said she was “heartbroken” about the tragedy.

“I am in Florida…for an event I’m speaking at tomorrow,” Fletcher wrote on Facebook on Saturday, The Sun reported.

“One of the sponsors was flying in on a private plane with some friends. The plane went down and…it looks there are no survivors,” she added. “Please pray for them, their families and the church members where they pastor.”

It was unclear which of the victims may have been sponsoring the Sunshine State event.

Lara, 66, last year donated at least $4,000 to the Trump Make America Great Again Committee and Donald J. Trump for President Inc., The Sun reported, citing Federal Election Commission data.

I hope they do a thorough untainted crash forensics.

Someone here pointed out there was no qualified pilot on the plane. Lawsuits coming against the estate since joe was reportedly flying.

Sad but still never heard of these people until seeing the articles here on FR.

That hair...she must’ve had the same hair dresser as Jan from Trinity Broadcast Network.

A friend mine’s mother in law has hair like this and you can tell she has a lot of botox injections as well. Still trying to figure out the hair, though. Looks like a floozy (this is the best I can come up with) in my opinion.

What is the basis for saying Mr. Lara was not qualified? He was an instrument/multiengine commercial pilot who was typed in the CE500.

You would have to go back to that thread. I think it had something to do with he did not have a valid pilot license due to medical exam. There was another pilot on board who also had an issue

I just watched an analysis of the crash. Most probably spatial disorientation by a non-qualified pilot.

I read that his medical certificate was out of date from 2017.

He had not reviewed his medical certification, and it was out of date per FAA database. Information came from an article in The Tennessean.

I saw the date on of his medical on the FAA’s Airman Certification website. But you are making the assumption that he did not renew his medical recently. I don’t know if he did or not. I know that that FAA’s website is not instantaneous.
