prolly right. The F-18 is an "information intensive" environment for the PIC. Lot to keep track of. Also, flying single seat in a trainer. hmmm. Maybe it was a check ride for a hangar queen.

Dunno. Maybe he just lost the aircraft and had to punch out.

Nope. If you read the whole story, you saw that VFA-125 was visiting Key West for exercises, due to rturn to Lemoore on Friday.
