I remember the five Class A accidents came from a piece done during the investigation of LT Hultgreen's mediocre flying skills. One of her instructor pilots discovered that the US Navy was trying to cover up LT Hultgreen's mediocre skills and record. The US Navy even went so far as to meddle with the F-14 simulator software to make it impossible for experienced pilots to survive the incident that led to LT Hultgreen's aircraft loss and her death. This IP blew the whistle on this sorry cover up to protect bad decisions by senior officers. His career was torpedoed as a result, but the US Navy was forced by the adverse publicity into telling the truth as to what really happened — so great was their embarrassment. Bottom line; the LT Kara Hultgreen Incident was not one of Naval Aviation's best moments.

"...Bottom line; the LT Kara Hultgreen Incident was not one of Naval Aviation's best moments..."

We are 100% in agreement there. Looks like the Rangers want to replicate it, but it probably won't be as dramatic as Lt. Hultgreen.

It will come out in an investigation after a operational pooch screw. And be covered up.
