0:41A flight-path reconstruction places the Learjet near a convective storm core at cruising altitude.
5:24The NTSB briefing confirms nine fatalities and describes indications of an in-flight breakup.
8:09Crew radio calls document icing, turbulence and the developing descent emergency.
11:33Ryan explains how Mach tuck can pitch a jet downward; investigators have not established it caused this crash.

The investigation remains open. Max Afterburner's Learjet coverage has moved from the crew's weather reports and rapid descent to a question about the aircraft itself: when did parts of its tail separate?

In "Part of Learjet's Tail RIPPED OFF", Ryan examines reports that horizontal stabilizer wreckage was found miles from the impact site. He explains why that surface matters for aircraft control, and why the sequence matters just as much as the discovery. Evidence of a breakup does not, by itself, establish what started the emergency.

That follow-up is among the channel's most active uploads now. The week's most watched release, "The Deadly Trap That May Have Caught This Learjet", has passed a million views. It reconstructs the flight through storm radar imagery, reviews the crew's radio calls and includes an NTSB briefing confirming that all nine people aboard died. Ryan also explains Mach tuck as a possible aerodynamic mechanism, not a finding by investigators. The NTSB has not determined the cause or said that Mach tuck played a role.

The aviation reporting sits alongside continuing Iran analysis. Two uploads titled "Dropping Nukes On Pickaxe Mountain Is WORSE Than We All Thought" currently have the strongest daily momentum, with Ryan examining nuclear-strike risks and an alternative involving attacks on tunnel entrances.

Across the week, Max Afterburner gained about 8,000 subscribers, bringing the channel close to a million. Daily viewing is more than double its usual level. Among nearby military and geopolitics channels, Zeihan on Geopolitics is also seeing a substantial viewing lift, while Mrgunsngear Channel is near its normal pace. For Ryan, both the Learjet follow-ups and the Pickaxe Mountain analysis are drawing attention beyond their initial publication.
