having taken you off the ignore list to examine the posts replied to by others, may I point out that the most common gross error in scientific research is to start with a premise and select only those facts which support the theory, ignoring those which do not agree. This is unfortunately a perfect description of your regular postings.
Together with the fact that there is absolutely no evidence of the presence of the 'Navy SEAL', and that for a deliberate attempt to be made to sabotage the peace process would have required cooperation of sufficient people that the 'smoking gun' would have emerged long ago, it is obvious to all why you are a lone voice crying in the wilderness.
As to airworthiness, the paper trail that has emerged is conclusive proof that the proper release to service was circumvented (and demonstrably illegally so). Whether an UCFM caused the crash is unprovable (due to the lack of fitment of a data recorder or CVR), and it is clear the true cause of the crash will never be conclusively proved.
