Beware Jake McGoldrick
Thread Starter
I knew Jake in Sudan.
I am sorry that this has happened to him, and particularly that another man died in the same accident. The point of my post was to attempt to make people aware of his (in my opinion) dangerous and unstable mentality in order to prevent such a tragedy.
I raised my concerns at the time, but he managed to get himself sacked for other reasons. He didn't fly a single hour in Sudan.

. Do you think Jake would intentionally sabatoage a flight and crash? We lost our friend Thursday while taking Jake up on a test flight in my brothers plane. Our friend was a accomplished pilot, flight instructor and military helicopter pilot. Jake told him that he had a Gulf Stream on order. The plane was a Huskey and I do not know details yet but we are suspicious. Please , if you know anything that would give insight , please email. Thank you
his (in my opinion) dangerous and unstable mentality
but he didn't seem like the type of person who would intentionally do this

In my opinion, his ambitions outweighed his abilities. Also, he dismissed any guidance he was given, even by far more experienced old hands. He was reckless in his approach to most activities. I was concerned he was going to get other people killed by doing something reckless and stupid. I was not of the opinion that he would deliberately sabotage an aircraft.
But if he has his hands on the controls when he decides to do something 'reckless and stupid' it might be difficult to stop him.
