A young woman who had been chasing her dream of becoming a pilot since childhood has been identified by her family as one of nine people killed in Sunday’s devastating plane crash in Palm Beach County, Florida. 💔
Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, 20, earned her pilot’s license at just 17 years old while still attending high school. She had reportedly logged more than 1,300 flight hours and was working as a commercial pilot.
On November 1, Nathalia was serving as co-pilot aboard a private Learjet traveling from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas when the aircraft suddenly began losing altitude and crashed near a residential neighborhood, erupting into flames.
All nine people aboard lost their lives.
In the moments before the crash, the flight crew reported turbulence and ice buildup before issuing a desperate emergency call. Investigators have not yet determined what caused the aircraft to go down.
Nathalia’s family remembered her passion for aviation and how proud she was to have accomplished so much at such a young age.
Prayers to all nine families affected by this tragedy. 🕊️
