An ignorant statement as fellow pilots say she was qualified.

I trust nothing said under duress. What would you expect them to say? What would happen if they said otherwise?

"The treatment she received after her death has always stayed with me as one of the greatest injustices witnessed during my naval career. Our XO replicated the mishap 100 times in the simulator and crashed 97 of them (emphasis added). "

Which just shows the article is lying or very ignorant. I researched this event shortly after it happened and I learned a lot about what actually happened back then. I believe the American Spectator covered it, and I subscribed to it at the time.

What they did to those pilots in the simulator is wait till the very last moment then they deliberately shut off one of their engines. This is not replicating what happened to her. She *CAUSED* her engine flame out.

So a pilot that trained with her would dispute your claims.

He would in public while he is still in the service, but he very well may not in private or if he was out of the service.

Now i've read several of your comments without engaging you on this topic, because your vehemence convinced me that you may have more than a passing interest in this particular incident. Is this particular incident personal for you somehow?

The comments made by one pilot were made in 2019. I doubt he was under duress. He was already retired from the military.

Nope, nothing personal, other than ignorant, ill-informed comments about US military personnel just being unfortunate. Just outing people that engage in that behavior.
