Walter:
This Chinook crash was not the first time aircrew were blamed in a case where there was obviously a different flight plan to that acknowledged
A few of your posts seem tomake a point that the plan was not followed, based on the waypoints chosen, and your assumption that it was the crew's intention to actually overfly those waypoints.

That is not how support helicopters operate. The change of waypoint simply allows navigation to the next point with electronic guidance, but does not imply that the aircaft is likely to follow the exact line between the points.
