@jjmacnab Could this be an issue of a radicalized pilot?
@jjmacnab That was very naive if not stupid of him to take mushrooms for the first time and fly. It tells same me he did no research at all before hand.
@jjmacnab There are a LOT of mentally ill people in the US trying to self medicate and making issues worse. Gah
I'm going through his social media before it goes poof and no radicalization markers so far. Just a happy looking guy with a wife, two kids, and a nice house in the Bay Area.
The only political commentary I saw in recent years was that he condemned what happened in DC on Jan 6, 2021.
