    Re-created it in the sim today...mostly...weather (snow, vis, gusts), speed, VVI, flt idle, no flare, etc. It took alot to intentionally override my pilot-spidy senses and continue with die-hard, get-there-itis and drive the right main into the runway like a CBR Dynamic Cone Penetrometer test. Didn't red screen, snap-aileron wing-off roll however; poor simulating perhaps? Need to step up my game.

    Preemptive pardons are a novelty. So is a shadow governor using an autopen. It'll all probably go to SCOTUS, and perhaps for good reason.

    Nah, balls to the wall: US Seven Heaven Command. It could oversee EARTHCOM. That would send a message. True American Exceptionalism and a new manifest destiny. Accept no substitutes.

    And who is the integrator in this MOSA acquisitions architecture? Because the gov't has more than proven itself inefficient and costly behind any reasonable schedule. Also with performance vs requirements. Unfortunately, this system will break down until necessity becomes the mother of invention unto the national security imperatives; which would be an undesirable time. However, war will focus attention and productivity to its singular imperative. And so this will ebb and flow generationally. MOSA isn't the answer, prudence and discipline, the arduous path are, but humans are lazy and self-interested, even those in Command have turned this unto their favor. Thus the purge and attempt to restoration of prudence - today's trend. MOSA is a bandaid holding a hangnail.

    However, pretty good if you were/are a bear.

    That $2.9M is unrealized. Instead it's doled-out month by month till death or SBP expiration. Until then it's all bird in bush potential. Live long, that retirement ages well and its FV increases over time woth COLA - your body won't.

    I won't laugh when they fix the acquisition system and MAJCOM JCIDs/CONOPs by actually enforcing MAJCOMs supporting it with proper resources, holding vendors accountable with great technical data/operational test reports, and providing the necessary warfighter material on a reasonable timeline. This infers MAJCOMs doing their part ISO DoDI5000.89-DAF99-103 and DAFI 63-series... honestly, safely, quickly, and effectively with adept operator input. Get deep and serious into some long lead logistics and QFA! As Napoleon Bonaparte said, “Amateurs talk strategy. Professionals talk logistics”. USAF HQs are all strategy, no functional logistics. For example MC rates of...well, anything. Bobs cherry picking shit of their own interest without suitable and effective data backing the decision for the operators needs to stop. Where their report card!? Till then I laugh, as it's all reclaimed-water ball wash. What strategy is next? B2B!?

    They were cherry picked beyond belief.

    It's too high in the public interest to keep quietly stuffed into military flight safety privilege-'drawer' in the interest of national security. Also, it is too hard to justify national security interest when 64 non-military died by, what readily appears to be, 3 military people. NTSB will release their report version. Army will probably have their own too. Yay big gov't. They'll probably have differences in reporting strangely.

    https://www.ntsb.gov/investigations/Pages/DCA25MA108.aspx Wearing Nogs, Rx/Tx's stepped on, Helo pilot alititude callout errors with Helo IP corrections, Helo pilot checkride....this will be a good final report to read and heed (as if it already wasn't).

    A major takeaway from this mishap IMHO is altimetery in low-level and/or deconfliction environments is a major, FAFO risk and hazard for aircrew to understand, as well as respect.
