John spends 3 hours inspecting airplane?

This is what really raises a red flag for me. Why John would spend 3 hours at JeffCo Airport inspecting his airplane. Something stinks.

It's Christmas day and John was going to fly to Minnessota and Charlevoix the next day. He decides to check on his airplane...but isn't that his Pilot Mike Archuleta's job?

Me thinks he went to visit a special friend and present her with a lovely Christmas gift, in hopes of getting a "gift" himself.

Could that have set Patsy Ramsey off? Getting a bicycle is the ultimate insult for the Southern Belle....that and another insult from her daughter with the My Twinn Doll.

Patsy was not at her best Christmas Day, IMO. She was stewing over all that happened that day and it must have come to a head Christmas Night.

I believe it was Christmas Eve day when he went to check on the plane and take the presents for the trip to Michigan. The airport was thirty minutes away, so an hours travel time to and from and checking out the plane for two hours is not an unusual amount of time. John was a pilot and it was his plane. He was a hands on person so to me it's no big deal.

JonBenet got a bike for Christmas and maybe Pasty wanted one to ride along with her and John got her one also.

My husband works on planes. He said it takes between 30 min to 2 hrs to inspect a small private plane. He told me it depends on how much experiance the pilot has. If its a lot of experiance, 3 hrs is an excessive amount of time.
