Nathalia Gadelha — the 20-year-old co-pilot who died in the plane crash in Palm Beach County on Sunday — sent her boyfriend one final text message before the fatal impact.<\/p>\n
The New York Post says it spoke to Nathalia’s stepfather, Thiago Cortelet … who told the outlet he believes Nathalia texted her boyfriend around 12:40 PM ET … roughly 10 minutes before the fatal crash.<\/p>\n
Thiago says Nathalia texted her boyfriend, “I’ve got turbulence, I’ve got ice.”<\/p>\n

Nathalia’s boyfriend is also a licensed pilot … and the two made headlines over the years for how young they both were. She got her license when she was 17 and still in high school.<\/p>\n
Her family also confirmed she had more than 1,300 hours of flight experience at the time of her death.<\/p>\n
As we reported … Nathalia was supporting the craft’s captain, Jeff Gregory, when the plane nosedived and went down in West Palm Beach.<\/p>\n

She was among the 9 people killed … along with Gregory, 44-year-old Austin tech entrepreneur Adam Robinson, plus his wife Helen, their two kids, and two close friends.<\/p>\n
Nathalia can be heard in horrifying dispatch audio saying, “Holy f***, we’re out of time,” while a man — presumably Gregory — said the Lord’s prayer.<\/p>\n

The NTSB said in a press conference on Monday that they believe the plane was breaking up before it hit the ground … and the jet experienced turbulence and icing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
