Is he still flying a desk in Washington???

Are they taking the cost of the a/c out of his pay check?

I guess he must have been a good pilot to get selected for the team in the first place, but this sort of error in front of a big crowd, when the purpose of the flight is to demonstrate the excellence of the Air Force, can't be acceptable, surely.
