Hmmm, no discussion here of the flight crew.  Yea, I bet it was a bitch for the pilots, Sarah Lemmon and my friend Jim Bland.   They were dealt a shit sandwich with a blown tire in a Lear that has piss-poor brakes and no protection from the damage that follows a blown tire event, all by design.  This airframe had less than 200 hours total time. 
 
I have known Jim for 25+ years.  He recently retired after a long career as a pilot with CBP, formerly US Customs Air Support.  We flew together in Hueys supporting the drug wars back in the 80s.  Jim was a standup guy and leaves a 16 year old daugher Erin and lovely wife Ann. 
 
I did not know Sarah but I know a few people who do and she was very well liked and respected as a pilot. 
 
RIP Jim and Sarah.
