Green Granite:
Surely it only has a close parallel to the Bob Holland incident if the pilot had been pulled up for similar occurrences before the accident flight. If this was his first transgression, although the accident had very similar causes, the failures of higher command wouldn't exist.
The parallels are striking and show a complete breakdown in the command structure of the USAF as it pertains to air shows. After the Holland crash the command structure established a form of air show C.R.M. Apparently, it was just a paper drill.
The ill-fated crew in this tragic, unnecessary, and very expensive crash were trying to to it better for the "home team." What kind of mentality is that? I thought the entire USAF was the "home team."
