Or maybe he was a brash young man with more money than sense who had little more than a year of experience and less than 100 hours of flight time on his own without an instructor, who bought his own fancy expensive hot-shot airplane that was beyond his abilities, and took off in the dark with a VFR license in near-IFR hazy weather he couldn't handle. He chose to fly over featureless water rather than take a slightly longer route with lights on the ground. He nearly hit a commercial flight enroute, which had to dive to avoid him. He had just fractured his ankle and had trouble with the foot pedals. His marriage was in trouble and his magazine, George, was about to fail, so there was, like, no stress or distractions in his life. He didn't file a flight plan, and his radios were on the wrong frequencies.
Other than that, he was a great pilot and it's obvious TPTB did him in.

Any talk about the Mafia, Russians or Cubans is just disinfo meant to distract.
How absolutely, incredibly frustrating to read. Seriously it is. And right there is a very good reason why we should not take your words seriously in this discussion here in this thread.
Fact is this - We're all here to learn and debate, not to close our minds. We learn by opening our minds, not closing them. To say that any talk of the above is disinformation is perhaps the most ridiculous thing I have ever read. You're just dismissing it because it's something you don't want to hear, and then you go and insult everyone else discussing it. How is that progress, how is that making headway in finding truth? It's nothing but a step backwards in this topic and in logic. And if you disagree with what's being said, particularly my post on the mafia, well then debunk it with facts. In fact I challenge you to.
Again, we learn by expanding and opening our minds to other thing's, not rejecting it because we don't like it.edit on 15-1-2013 by Rising Against because: (no reason given)

I've been on lots of roads, and they haven't led to Rome. You'd have to cross an ocean to get there from lots of places. I guess some roads lead to Roma is a better way to say it. Deny ignorance.
Do you think the article misquoted Jr., and that he meant the phone records of Ruby contained phone calls to most of the known mafia leaders, and not Oswald's?
It appears to me as if he is holding the weapon by its' strap. I'm certainly no weapons expert nor photographic interpreter however.
But then who would give us our Obama Phones?

Your post is very informative.

There is at least one other Kennedy by blood serving in national elected office. Why not push blood to make a stink from the inside? Indeed.. Whatever we each think may have happened, it's like 9-11. The one thing I believe we can ALL agree on is that 'Investigation" is something the case never saw much of.....for Jack or Robert Kennedy. They both died under odd circumstances, IMO...given the half effort made at investigating anything.
JFK is one of those 'thread' points I think of as a spot where pulling the thread will unravel things far removed from the original event. It's quite a deal if someone can just get a hold of an end...just ONE good hold..and yank hard.edit on 14-1-2013 by Wrabbit2000 because: (no reason given)

or maybe the same people that killed his father, infiltrated the hanger and or took a job as a mechanic and sabotaged his plane.
