it seems to me that in many V aircraft fatal accidents there has been a crew chief on board
If a Crew Chief was on board, it indicated that the trip probably wasn't a normal 'out and back to base' flight, but a trip that involved landing away from base, and also probably at least a night stop away from base. For the married guys, away from family with all that was entailed.
Makes me wonder if this just might of been a factor that affected the minds of all concerned? Maybe not 100% thinking about the job of preparing and flying the a/c.
Is this just the meandering mind of a senile old man?
