- 0:21Browne reviews the NTSB's confirmation of evidence that the Learjet broke up in flight.
- 3:13The radar overlay shows storm deviations before the aircraft turns into a convective cell near Palm Beach.
- 8:29The flight-manual review covers anti-ice systems, buffeting limits and emergency overspeed-recovery procedures.
- 14:54Browne announces his airline retirement and recalls managing weather radar while flying the Boeing 777.
- 17:43He argues that pilot training needs more aerobatic and upset-prevention-and-recovery instruction.
- 20:35Why the crew lost control remains the central unanswered question for the NTSB investigation.
Juan Browne made a personal announcement amid his Learjet analysis: he has retired from airline flying. "I can say retired now, I retired as of effective yesterday. Thank you for your support," he says in Tuesday's video, before drawing on his experience operating a Boeing 777's weather radar.
That upload, "N722BD Lear 60 Loss of Control Inflight 1 Nov 2026," became the most watched of blancolirio's three releases this week, passing a million views. Browne examines the NTSB's evidence of an in-flight breakup, overlays the flight track on weather radar and consults the aircraft's flight manual. He leaves the central question open for investigators: why the crew lost control.
The week's viewing has since shifted toward "High Speed Aerodynamics Review." Wednesday's upload is now attracting more daily views than the Learjet analysis, giving the technical lesson its own substantial audience. "N927JS PA-18 Supercub NTSB Prelim Wauconda WA" completes the week's releases with another examination of a preliminary report.
Across the channel, roughly 5,000 subscribers joined over the week. Daily viewing is now about half its usual pace, a quieter finish to a week that brought substantial attention to the new uploads. Among nearby aviation-and-machinery channels, Mr Hewes had a particularly large week, while Mentour Now! was running below its usual daily viewing level.
For Browne, the change is in his working life rather than the channel's subject: airline flying has ended, but flight manuals, radar tracks and aviation teaching remain on the screen.
