Default request for fighter pilot statistic

Basically, the pilot involved didn't think the rules applied to him and was well know for his unsafe flying.



How can a guy w/ questionable ethics or is considered 'unsafe' be
qualified or allowed to fly or even be on the demo team?

That's the whole point about the book written on this incident. I'm
only informed around the edges of the story and from the deceased's
reputation within the BUFF community. There was a very bad break down
in leadership that allowed that pilot to continue flying. Again, I
haven't read the book, but every BUFF aircrew member I know supports the
point of view I originally posted.
