That aircraft went down shortly after his visit to Cuba.
DU experts - any thoughts?

1. So, I suppose this is in response to being mad...

I grieve for your quest.

8. Mad? Me?

I am delighted. I posted the first thread yesterday.

2. No. He was simply an inexperienced pilot who made a fatal mistake. Nt

5. It was simply that reason...

Sad, but he really didn't have hrs under his belt - nor an instrument rating - and he flew into conditions with limited vis.

3. It's customery

for a ruling dynasty to destroy any remnants of the defeated dynasty that might become a future threat.

4. we probably will never know .

But you can be sure people will try to make money from speculation on both sides of the debate .

6. He was killed because HE WAS JFK jr.

and it was just a matter of time before George Magazine went too far and made people too uncomfortable.

On top of that, he was a political monster waiting to happen

7. Guess what. Planes do crash sometimes.

I know, "just asking questions..."

It's called "JAQing off," for a damn good reason.

I can do that too, "Is it possible Kennedy Jr is still alive, having been beamed up to a waiting UFO?"

9. He was not assassinated. He was a risk taker.

It was a nasty night. Conditions at Martha's Vineyard were reported as clear with visibility of eight miles, but erratic: a few minutes earlier they had been humid and hazy with only six miles visibility. Kennedy's newly acquired certificate for flying his plane using instruments alone forbade him to fly with visibility less than five miles. He did not hold a full licence.

He was flying, then, like most Kennedys live: along the blade of a knife. He had been warned by his friend John Barlow, former lyricist with the Grateful Dead: 'You know just enough to be dangerous. You have confidence in the air, which could harm you.'
