I personally believe, Earl, that the 'I know it all, therefore don't confuse me with the facts' US AirForce attitude led, part and parcel to this very unfortunate accident.
One wonders, with the training civil crews receive in just these same sort of scenarios every 6 months, if the outcome would have been FAR different, had civil procedures been used.
USAF, too darn many 'Colonels' in charge.
Why are we not surprised...?
