Private Pilot/Radar Tech....flight crew paychecks come out of your very own pocket? Really?
Do tell us how the accounting for that takes place....you get an Invoice each pay period or something?
Now here I sit, thinking what it must have been like that night....near zero vis in Fog in some unloved terrain and the Crew elects to park it right where they are based upon Safety Considerations....and you think they "failed"?
Yeah Right!
