You may not personally have impugned the MP but, if you had been reading the thread since the start, you would see that others definitely have.

I never wanted to start an argument but, against my better judgment, I appear to have done just that.

I had intended to present a different angle to the conversation which seemed to be heading down the route of blaming the pilot with the benefit of hindsight.

I think it’s terrible that an F22 has been severely damaged as the result of a handling error and I can now see how FDM could prevent it in future. I agree that it could have been avoidable but none of us are F22 pilots so we can’t honestly state we wouldn’t have made the same error or could have stopped it had we been there.

I understand the term ‘normalisation of deviance’ and I also understand why we make such efforts to stop it happening.

Anyway, I’ve said enough.
