Hankey takes as his point of departure two overlooked pieces of evidence in the official report that the National Transportation Safety Board published one year after the crash. First, the radar data describing the path of Kennedy's plane showed that just as Kennedy was making his final approach to the Martha's Vineyard Airport, his plane, in the absence of any explosion or engine malfunction, suddenly plunged headfirst into the ocean, falling 2500 feet in 45 seconds. Secondly, the fuel selector valve on Kennedy's plane was found to have been turned to the off position.
…
This scenario may seem fantastic until we realize that only about 100 days later and only about 50 miles away from the site of Kennedy's crash, this is precisely what happened aboard Egypt Air Flight 990. On October 31, 1999, not long after takeoff from JFK Airport in New York City, Gamil al-Batouti, a member of the Egyptian Air flight crew with no apparent reason to commit suicide, suddenly forced the Egyptian Air Boeing 757 jet into a headfirst dive and then turned off the fuel selector valve. The plane crashed helplessly into the ocean, taking over 200 passengers, including many Egyptian military officers, to their deaths.
so about the time investigation wraps up (?) another bird goes in the drink a little ways away.

Don't seem to mention military on board.
Some appear to set up shop in jolly olde England.

In The Advance of the Muslim Brotherhood in the UK, an excellent short history of the Ikhwan “arrival” in the United Kingdom, Michael Whine specifically used Egyptian Brother Kamal el Helbawy as a symbol of that invasion. Helbawy had joined the Ikhwan in 1951 while a student at secondary school in Munufeiya, Egypt, and by his own admission was involved in outreach [da’wa] for many years. Forced into Exile, while still a young man he helped found the World Assembly of Muslim Youth in 1972. Thereafter, among other things he served as English translator of the Ikhwan’s dominant theologian Sheikh Yusuf Qaradawi and produced a translation of his The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam.
In Pakistan, Helbawy served as an advisor to its Center for International Policy Studies, an Islamist research center that dealt with problems associated with civil war in Afghanistan. By his own admission, in 1995 he was selected by the Ikhwan to be their “spokesman in the West.” It appeared that for the first time in its history the Ikhwan decided to set up a base in England. The FSB, Russia’s intelligence service, would later claim that it would serve as the administrative center of the Ikhwan’s “international department.” The FSB noted that the London affiliate was headed by “a rather energetic figure — Kemal al Khalbawi [Kamal el Helbawy].” The Russian service claimed, but did not further elaborate, that Helbawy was an associate of their former enemy, the Afghan Jihadist Gulbuddin Hekmatyar (an Ikhwan since his student days).
Shortly after his arrival in the UK, in September 1995 Helbawy gave a well-attended speech in London. Precisely a year later, Helbawy was at the forefront when the World Assembly of Muslim Youth (WAMY) headquarters was opened in Leicester, England. Helbawy then took charge of its operations, and by 9/11 some twenty UK youth organizations were associated with it.
Helbawy was determined to build on a foundation the Ikhwan had already created but seemed more intellectual than driven by the demand of Islamic outreach (da’wa). By then, the Ikhwan had created the Federation of Islamic Organizations in Europe (FIOE), which in a few years had become the paramount Muslim institution in Europe. Founded in 1989 and based in Markfield, Leicestershire, UK (also the home of the Pakistan Jamaat-e Islami in Europe), it soon represented Muslims in 27 European nations and maintained institutions devoted to politics, education, charity and religion. Its stated ambition was to “maintain the Muslim presence in Europe, and to enhance and develop that presence so that Islam is properly and accurately introduced.” With tens of thousands of members, it counts hundreds of associated institutions and Islamic centers.
Helbawy next created the Forum of European Muslim Youth and Student Organizations (FEMYSO). However, perhaps not wishing to place all the Ikhwan eggs in one basket, the FEMYSO soon moved to the Continent where it opened its main office in Brussels. From there it began to supervise student activity in eleven European countries.
