Am I the first one who is going to pose the question of a Medivac flight from Philadelphia, PA......to Springfield, MO?  I've been through Springfield a few times.  If I'm sick I'm taking Philly.  

Could be the right specialist just loves the Ozarks and you have to go there because they don’t travel. I’m sure people from all over get flown to Rochester MN too

Well yea but the fucking Mayo Clinic is in Rochester, MN.  Springfield, MO is where people stop to take a piss on the way to exciting locales like Branson or St Louis.  

I guess maybe could be somebody flying back home, or something...maybe, possibly.

I saw somewhere else that it was stopping for fuel in Springfield MO, and the final destination was Tijuana.

It was scheduled out of Springfield to head to Mexico later, so probably just a fuel stop.  Lear 55 has a range of almost 2500 miles, but it would be less with 6 pax plus equipment and going against the jet stream.

Hearing from my Lear friends the following: 

Huh. I remember seeing that one video and thinking it was odd, where you can see the plane on a parbolic arc, getting steeper as it approached the ground. I guess that would be explained by the nose trim down premise, but I'm certainly no pilot. Does that seem plausible?

Disclaimer: I don't know shit about fuck.

Thanks for clearing that up.  You too paint color man.

This. At that dive rate it was mechanical. But we will find out in the next few months from the ntsb. 

Based on my understanding of the situation, I'm thinking that the cause of the crash was catastrophic duck tape failure encasing the right engine compressor.

Springfield has some massive hospital system. Don’t know specifics, but spent a night at a hotel last August that turned out to be some medium to long stay place for people receiving medical treatment at one of the hospital systems in town. 

Perhaps that was the refueling destination due to the ease of access from airport to medical care center if needed.
