Luke said that he and Jason went duck hunting in the morning. Then, they flew to St. Louis on a private aircraft. Luke confirmed that the plane landed safely. Luke said that he and Jason performed at the ATA show with Buck Commander in St. Louis. The ATA show stands for Archery Trade Association, and the ATA show is an annual event.
Jason said that the flight home was supposed to take just 30 minutes. He thought to himself that it would be “Easy, easy.” After the plane departed St. Louis, there was an alleged equipment malfunction. Luke appeared to blame some of the malfunctioning equipment on the frigid temperatures.
He said during the livestream, “It was so cold in St. Louis.” Luke claimed it was just sixteen degrees outside, and the wind was blowing about 40 miles per hour. He said that “some of the instruments on the plane were not working,” so the plane had to turn around for an emergency landing.
