Who Pays When Private Jet Charter Becomes a Discount Race?

    In May 2025, a Cessna Citation II crashed into a residential neighborhood in San Diego—killing six on board and injuring eight on the ground.

    The private jet was attempting to land at Montgomery-Gibbs Executive Airport in heavy fog at 3:45 a.m.

    Power was out. Runway lights were down. Weather alert systems disabled.

    And no one knows if the pilot ever got the FAA's NOTAM about it.

    The Result

    A horrifying crash into a Navy housing unit and a chilling reminder:

    Even in private aviation, corners get cut, systems fail, and lives are lost.
