On July 1st, 2017, 90 year old pilot, Jerry Naylor died in a single plane crash. Sitting right next to him in the cockpit was his faithful labradoodle, Jasmine. Jasmine was Jerry's co-pilot on many flights and even had a special apparatus to keep her safely in her seat.
The National Transportation Safety Board's final report on the wreck that killed Jerry Naylor in Monticello blamed the incident on the "decision to fly with his large dog in the two-seat, light sport airplane, and the dog's likely contact with the flight controls during landing, which resulted in the pilot's loss of airplane control."
Naylor was a commercial pilot on a personal flight at the time of the crash, which inflicted "multiple blunt-force injuries" that resulted in his death, according to the report published April 8.
Jasmine is a very good girl and deserves to have her name cleared! We all know she would've done anything and everything to save her dad.
