The mishap report for last year's F-35 crash in the South China Sea is out. Here are two perspectives on it.
The first is from CW "Mover" Lemoine, who was a Viper driver in the USAF who transitioned to Hornets in the Navy. His video is more of a blow-by-blow explanation of the report itself, with color added as a former fighter jock. Although he was a Naval Aviator, he never did carrier operations.
The second video is from Ward "Mooch" Carroll and Kevin "Hozer" Miller, who were both Naval Aviators who served in carrier air wings (Mooch as a Tomcat RIO and Hozer as a Hornet pilot). They add a lot more color to the discussion based on their experience. They also cover some ancillary parts of the story, like the pilot's evac to the PI and the fact that he lost his flight status but gets to keep his wings.
