Strange that the military has a worst aviation record than civilian jet liners. I’m waiting to see if it was a DEI pilot.

Crew of 8 on that plane. Sad...

I do think it's going to be pilot error....

Military jets fly places and do things that civilian airliners don’t.

I was an Army OH-58 crew chief. Left seat. We did things no other branches did, let alone civilians. When I got my PPL in a 152, it was, “Is this it?”

You might not have noticed but making war is dangerous. So is training to go to war because it requires you do the same dangerous things as when fighting a war, albeit with greater margins of safety.

Military aviation operates much closer to the edge of the envelope than commercial aviation.
