The 20-year-old co-pilot on the doomed Learjet that crashed in Florida last weekend was remembered by her flying instructor as “the most naturally gifted pilot” who was “born to fly!” Nathalia Gadelha Filgueiras — who earned her pilot license in high school, even before she could drive — “aced” all her flying exams, longtime instructor Chris Kirk said alongside a selfie of them beaming together in the cockpit. “She was without a doubt the most naturally gifted pilot I have ever taught, and I have been teaching for 40 years!!” he posted on Facebook while proudly saying he was one of her first instructors. “That young lady was born to fly! There was not a check ride that the examiner was not blown away!” 5 Nathalia Filgueiras was remembered by mentor Chris Kirk after she was killed in the LearJet crash in Palm Springs, Florida, on Nov.
