ZeBedie,
Can I suggest that before you comment further you read post #16? A military run in and break clears the pilot only to join the circuit to fit in with existing traffic - at normal circuit altitude. It certainly does not give a clearance for a low level beat up of the runway! Before this pilot got that far he should have called "downwind" and "final" (in the latter call he should have requested a low go-around). This would have allowed the Chinook to clear the runway and the incident would not have occurred.
