Learjet 60 N722BD Crashes in Greenacres, Palm Beach County

A Learjet 60 registered N722BD crashed Sunday afternoon, November 1, 2026, around 12:50 p.m. ET near Military Trail and 10th Avenue North in Greenacres, Palm Beach County, Florida. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy said all nine people aboard were killed. As of 4 p.m. ET that day, authorities had not confirmed fatalities among people on the ground.

The Federal Aviation Administration said the Learjet 60 departed Austin-Bergstrom International Airport and was headed to North Eleuthera Airport in the Bahamas.
