Learjet Crash Update: Pilot's Father SPEAKS & More!
The question has become sharper. Taking Off's follow-up to the fatal Greenacres Learjet crash centers on a piece of the tail found miles from the impact site, and what investigators can establish from it.
In "Learjet Crash Update: Pilot's Father SPEAKS & More!", Dan Millican explains the NTSB's finding that most of the left elevator was recovered in three pieces, at distances investigators considered implausible for impact damage. The elevator controls the aircraft's pitch. The crucial distinction remains unresolved: did its separation cause the descent, or did the descent tear it off? Dan also addresses viewers' questions about icing, Mach tuck and weather-radar lag.
That follow-up builds on "What They Got WRONG About the Learjet Crash", the week's most watched upload, with about 2.6 million views. It remains Taking Off's busiest video by daily views, separating confirmed information from missile and drone rumors without presenting a settled cause.
Across nine new uploads, the channel also revisited John Denver's accident record and explained weather-routing decisions using one of Dan's own Cessna flights. A newer Florida emergency-landing report is drawing substantial daily attention too: a Cessna clipped a pickup on a North Fort Myers road, but no one was injured.
Taking Off added 10,000 subscribers over the week, accounting for most of its monthly growth. Its weekly views were the largest among the nearby aviation-and-machines channels, with FarFlight also drawing a substantial audience. Today's viewing pace is much lower than Taking Off's usual daily level, while the John Denver investigation remains among its most active uploads.
