XC-VMC Lear 45

As in the title of this website, 'Rumour Network', how could you possibly not wonder about this one?

Mexico's Drug War

Considering there is an actual Drug War going on inside Mexico, you can't help but wonder about this Lear crash.

The Lear 45 has only suffered two hull losses to date, with 400 aircraft in the fleet and ten years of service. The first loss was a Bombardier test aircraft lost when the aircraft lost directional control during high speed runs thru 'pools of water' on the runway.

The second was an Italian Lear 45 in Milan that suffered multiple bird strikes on departure.

The NTSB will be involved in this investigation, and probably a year from now we'll know quite a bit more than we do now, however until then, hmmm!
