NFL player says he flew on same jet that crashed in FL, met crew

NFL player Joe Mixon said he recently flew on the same Learjet 60 that crashed in Florida on Sunday. Posting on X, Mixon—who has played for the Cincinnati Bengals and Houston Texans—claimed he was on that exact aircraft last month and that the same two pilots operated his flight. He expressed devastation and offered condolences to the families of the nine people killed. The NTSB said investigators will focus on weather and the flight path after the pilot declared a mayday and the plane went down early Sunday afternoon. The co-pilot was identified as 20-year-old Nathalia Filgueiras, based on statements relayed by family. Victims included entrepreneur Adam Robinson’s family.
