flag Kyle Bailey, who last saw JFK Jr. alive, warned of dangerous weather and poor flight conditions before the 1999 plane crash that killed him and two others.

flag Kyle Bailey, the last person to see John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, and her sister Lauren Bessette alive, has shared concerns about the weather and flight conditions before their 1999 crash. flag At Essex County Airport, Bailey, a licensed pilot, observed hazy, humid conditions that signaled potential fog, especially over water. flag Though he canceled his own flight due to worsening visibility, he noted Kennedy’s new Piper Saratoga lacked instrument training and was flown at night with limited horizon, increasing risk. flag Bailey expressed unease, telling his mother he hoped Kennedy wouldn’t die in the plane—a sentiment he later called a gut feeling, not a prediction. flag The plane crashed into the Atlantic Ocean, killing all three.
