TOFO, I don't think it is accurate to say that most pilots have expressed their distaste, in relation to the thread. Some folk find some of the suggestions a bit awkward, and some are probably disgusted at the allegations of improper conduct by the pilot.

However, the thread is about the failure of various branches of Government to examine, in a suitable forum (Public Inquiry or FAI or Inquest) the circumstances of how military aviators have lost their lives.

What are we about, if not freedom of speech? People should be allowed to ask. The fact that some are offended by the question is not relevant. Are we to protect civil servants who signed off defective aircraft, because looking into the results might open a different can of worms?

To let this thread die, would be IMHO a mistake. Perhaps a new thread could be opened, with a less contentious title, but shortly thereafter we will be back here, because the Glen Ogle crash, whatever the cause, should have been investigated.
