    Well….this is a prime example of what a sudden crosswind can do to a plane that’s already low to the ground, with short gear, and a very wide wingspan. On a bright note…it’s very easily repaired, so stay tuned for that. Thanks for watching 👊🏼👊🏼

    That looked like Jack Roush trying to land at Oshkosh that one year! Glad it's an easy fix brother Jeff.

      Thanks Adam!! All part of this fantastic hobby, if ya think your gonna never have a mishap, this hobby isn’t for you, every good flight or bad crash makes us better pilots. Routine maintenance and repairs are just another expected part of the experience along the way. Thanks for the support buddy👊🏼👊🏼

    Always gotta keep that upwind wing down on final in a crosswind or else it’ll bite ya. Hopefully you’ll get her fixed

    Come on, that descent and approach was so extreme that plane was doomed even without a crosswind...at no point was it even close to flat and level. That looked like a STOL competition approach lol.

      Nah…plane had landed great all day, it was coming in great, the sudden extreme gust across the field just totally messed that up lol👊🏼

    Recently an FAA Airworthiness Directive was placed on a number of Gulfstream models prohibiting operations in much x-wind at all. Looks like yours just flys scale. 😂

    The “MICROBURST DETECTOR” was down for maintenance and I could feel that wind kick up on my neck and pick up speed going 90 degrees to the runway but there was nothing I could do with my I max 14 pro but film the crime scene🥺 All souls on board survived the crash and were rerouted to SouthWest Airlines flight 6969 to Bermuda for debriefing. No criminal charges have been filed and we were on the golf course at Pinehurst by 2pm. Every passenger received a free air freshener of their choice before exiting the crash site. JCRC Airlines will be back up and running before Christmas.
