Family of four, two close friends and nanny also died in crash as pilot identified as 55-year-old Jeff Gregory

Nathalia Filgueiras, 20, was co-pilot of the private Learjet 60 en route from Austin-Bergstrom international airport in Texas to North Eleuthera airport in the Bahamas on Sunday when it suddenly plummeted out of the sky, killing all onboard, her mother told the New York Times.

Later on Monday, the family of the passengers who died posted a statement on Facebook identifying the victims and paying tribute to them.

It named them as Adam Robinson, 45, a Texas-based technology entrepreneur; his wife Helen Sharp, 40; and their children, Emma, four, and Charlie, two. The statement said close family friends Rachael Reed and Charmi Fehr were also killed, along with Anita Maria Cetina, the children’s nanny.

The pilot in charge of the Learjet was identified by TMZ and other media outlets on Monday as Jeff Gregory, 55, an experienced aviator from Pennsylvania.

    Should probably change that name to morallyinferior 😬 let’s not forget about the children on the plane either…

      You’re talking about a class of people who bombed the country I’m from with their taxes and policies they support including killing an entire school filled with children so no, sorry, I’m not feeling too bad about them

        I’m not saying you should, I’m just saying ur username is awfully hypocritical considering you’ve stooped to the level of this class of people. Hey man I get it, if you can’t beat them join them, but I’m more strong willed than that. Some of us actually have morals, and not the kind that change based on who were dealing with.
