Just so I understand. Low-T is a brutal condition that affects the ability to maintain physical conditioning. And it affects multiple service members on this board alone. and We shouldn't be testing for low-T. Do I have that right? Are we doing to pretend like we care? Women in the military was never about physical performance.

A few more details as I live here and it has been the main topic of conversation in the news and social media. This was not even a demo flight, it was a fam flight in preparation for the airshow this weekend. The jet that did the flyover was #3, NOT the solo. Important because he was not running down the showline, just trying to do an impromptu flyby as part of the rejoin and he obviously overshot the crowd line. The Boss did a local interview where he stated (paraphrasing), "it was a mistake, it was debriefed, we are moving forward with the show." One of the troubling comments came from another local press interview with #4 who said (again paraphrasing), "we are not backing off, push it up for the show this weekend." A few friends I flew with (all Navs I will point out), told me I am talking like an old guy, it was cool. I simply replied - "there is a reasons I am old guy." I FULLY understand he made a mistake and long ago I adopted the leadership tactic of a senior leader I think a lot of..."we should not electrocute an Airman over a single mistake." This is a debreif item, not an FEB or some other punishment. HOWEVER, we should not celebrate breeches or mistakes and cheer the outcome. As folks like @disgruntledemployee, such actions will only fan the flames and encourage the next guy to go lower/fast/inverted.
