Some of the worst examples of attitudes to flight safety are appearing here;

1. It was safe because they had done it lots of times before - luck in getting away with something does not make it safe or right.

2. It was the procedure in the manual - so no-one has ever questioned the manual because it might be wrong?

3. Operational pressures overrule safe operating - that is doing the enemy's job for them

4. Navy pilots are better than Air Force pilots - perlleeeese....exactly the machismo attitude that engenders unsafe and risky practices.
