Yes, I watched the video.

I've also had the opportunity to engage multiple F-4s and F-14s with varying paint schemes. The matte painted airplanes were definitely easier to find in a bright sky.

If he had the helo on his ND, he either had an RA or did not. If he did, it would NOT have been a "Descend" advisory at that low an altitude. If he did not, he could have avoided it visually and/or via the TCAS display.

What we DO know was that the tower told him to go around, but he did not. There would have to be some extraordinary circumstances to validate that decision, and so far we have seen none.

OTOH, it IS possible he did not hear the go-around transmission. If so, he should still have gone around due to the airplane stopped on the runway.
