Pittsextra, I think that he is hinting at accidents like the G-TBRD T-33 one. The operator of the T-33 changed their experience requirements to that which Athonite alludes to for their remaining F-86.

It's on the AAIB website. Different accident, but an interesting slant.

I had a look at the accident video last night. In the last second or so, whilst in the left turn, the aircraft appears to roll further left to about 150 deg bank. I guess this is what others have seen and say that the aircraft appears to have departed/stalles in the last few seconds?

Still tragic for all concerned, whatever the outcome. He sounded like a talented all-rounder.
