The most recent trial results from the 2008 San Diego USMC F/A 18 crash http://news.yahoo.com/govt-pay-family-1 ... 21909.html The quote I got and really paid attention to: Quote: The Marine Corps has said the plane suffered a mechanical failure but a series of bad decisions led the pilot — a student — to bypass a potentially safe landing at a coastal Navy base after his engine failed on Dec. 8, 2008. Wikipedia article on the crash: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_San_D ... A-18_crash He flew 50 miles past a military airfield capable of recovering him- NAS North Island- to go to Miramar. Take home message- no matter what the brass is telling you, don't succumb to get-home-itis. |
