Crashed Plane Behind D.C. Chaos Owned by Big-Time MAGA Donor Couple

Crashed Plane Behind D.C. Chaos Owned by Big-Time MAGA Donor Couple

The owners of a Cessna passenger aircraft that sparked panic as it flew into restricted U.S. airspace over Washington, D.C. Sunday—before crashing into the Virginia wilderness—are big-time Republican donors and major boosters of the National Rifle Association, according to federal records and public statements.

The aircraft, which authorities said was piloted by a person who lost consciousness, prompted an aerial chase with Pentagon jets, which caused a sonic boom heard across the D.C. area, officials said.

According to federal aviation records, the plane was registered to Encore Motors of Melbourne, a Florida-based company registered to John and Barbara Rumpel, though neither were on board at the time of the crash.
