Experienced pilot Jeff Gregory, 55, and co-pilot Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras, 20, have been identified as the two pilots who lost their lives in Sunday's Learjet 60 crash in Palm Beach County, Florida.
Gregory, from Gilbertsville, Pennsylvania, had dreamed of becoming a pilot since childhood. He began flight training in the 1990s and went on to build a career in aviation, including working for the Pennsylvania-based charter company East Coast Jets in 2016 and 2017.
A childhood friend remembered him as "very diligent and dependable." Gregory leaves behind his wife, Cheryl, and their three children.
His co-pilot, Nathalia, earned her private pilot's license at 17, before obtaining her driver's license. According to her family, she had accumulated more than 1,300 flight hours by the age of 20.
The two were flying Learjet 60 N722BD from Austin, Texas, to the Bahamas on November 1 when the aircraft encountered turbulence and icing conditions before entering a rapid descent.
All nine people aboard lost their lives.
The seven passengers have also been identified by their families. They included Adam Robinson, 45, his wife Helen Sharp, their children Emma, 4, and Charlie, 2, family friends Rachael Reed and Charmi Fehr, and Anita Maria Cetina, who helped care for the children.
During a November 2 briefing, the NTSB revealed that investigators had found evidence suggesting parts of the aircraft may have separated before impact. However, the cause of the crash remains unknown.
Our deepest condolences go out to the families and loved ones of all nine people aboard.
May they rest in peace. 🕊️

She actually WAS piloting . And try to get over the whole “men bad” crap. It’s inaccurate and quickly becoming a passé mindset

So where’s the men complaining now. That male just sat there praying to an imaginary person and did fuck all.
