Look up MARSA.

MARSA applies to the military, not civilian flights.

I doubt that anyone will see the HUD tapes since by definintion they are
classified, but I am confident that a variety of people will review them
within the wing. You suggested that the FAA and Air Force were somehow in
collusion in hiding the facts, but having personal experience in this, it
simply would not be the case.

Unclassifying the tapes and releasing them would clear up any doubt.

You also implied that perhaps the flyers were on stimulants during this
episode, without evidence. Why create conjecture and innuendo that simply
fuels the fires of controversy? To what purpose does this serve?

Either the pilots were incompetent or there was some other reason why they
were behaving incompetently. If they were high on stimulants, that might
provide an explanation. In this latter case, they need to stop taking the
speed; in the former case, they need to find a different line of work.

If you're so suspicious of the government and its processes, try moving to a
third world country (where I just returned for the AF), where you'd be
thankful you had one solid meal a day (if any), and the government doesn't
mean anything.

Third World countries are characterized in part by arrogant military
establishments that hide any evidence of wrongdoing and employ incompetent
personnel.

I can categorically state that the Air Force and other military personnel
that I've had the privilege of working with through the years have been some
of the most dedicated and ethical people that I have ever met, and your
comments and suspicions demean their efforts and sacrifice.

So you haven't met the pilot involved in this incident?
