Yeah, it really sucks flying in one’s own private jet....
Hydraulic clotting?
At least he didn’t become a candle in the wind-—yet.
That’s why I sold my fleet of Lear jets.
Was it one of Bennie’s Jets?
OMG, that is so bad, LOL!
“Daniel is traveling tonight on a plane, I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain...”
Too bad they didn’t land in Austin. They could have stayed at the Holiday Inn.
Was Daniel on the plane?
3 “vaccine” shots and the twist still was infected by coronavirus. The clot-shot con is the biggest crime against humanity since World War II.
Hydraulic failure is an emergency. Having to go around a couple of times - obviously with plenty of fuel since the flight was just starting - that’s not an emergency. There are aircraft performing go arounds every day. There was no “double emergency.” More sensationalism to get clicks.
Going to a funeral for a friend...almost
A lot of words. Not one word about a plane. Hmmm.
Here. An actual useful excerpt.
***********
The singer was travelling from Farnborough Airport in Hampshire on Monday for a gig in New York and was at 10,000ft over Ireland when pilots decided they had to return due to a problem with the plane’s hydraulic systems.
The pilot radioed ahead and requested an emergency landing with fire crews racing to the runway to be on hand.
But as Storm Franklin’s 80mph winds buffeted the airfield the plane was twice forced to abort its emergency landing and go around again, only successfully touching down at the third attempt.
Emergency services surrounded the £66m Bombardier Global Express jet as it came to a halt, with sources telling The Sun 74-year-old Sir Elton was ‘shaken’ by the incident.
One source said: ‘The jet was being buffeted and couldn’t land. It was horrible to see.’
Terrifying: Sir Elton John, 74, was caught in a horrific mid-air drama as his £66million Bombardier Global Express private jet suffered hydraulic failure at 10,000ft (pictured in January)

However, Elton later hopped on a plane to the United States to ensure he was in the country in time for his performance at at Madison Square Garden as part of his global Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour.
They should probably also add….and, taking Ivermectin.
😉
Until you form a bucket brigade from the hydraulic leak back to the master cylinder just to slightly maneuver back to the coast...
Which really did happen to a good friend of mine on a C-130... and yes they did safely land.
