Maybe.
For me it's a question of which is more likely.
Superb pilots having a bad day making a catelog of mistakes or something else.
AH was a superb pilot, most harrier pilots are the cream of the RAF.....so for me the chances of something else are more likely.
MrA-I've met quite a few Harrier pilots who tell me the same-although I've not met AH. I have no doubt that you are correct-the Harrier guys were undoubtedly the ones who were above average during flying training.
But its worth remembering that AH was a Harrier pilot many years ago, and he was driving an Airbus or Boeing at the time of the accident, which is slightly different I imagine? And would not especially prepare you for low level aeros in a swept wing vintage fighter jet?
