He'd been at Nellis (where I was stationed) shortly before the crash. Told his ground troops to be at such and such location at a specific time because he was going to fly the notch in the ridge. There's video tape from that occasion. He comes screaming up the hillside, maybe a max of fifty feet off the deck and blows through this notch in the ridgeline. We saw footage from the guys he flew over - you could count the rivets in the panels, before they got blown down by jet wash - the other video is from a high point on the notch, looking down on the top of the aircraft. He was good - but he was arrogant - and it cost him his life, and the life of his crew.

I remember that incident very well. There was also a long write up about that dude in Army Times or some other mil-magazine. He had a long record for unsafe conduct, and it was a failure of leadership that he was allowed to keep flying. He was senior, so people were afraid to confront him strongly enough for his behavior to change.

He was one of those guys who though he should have been put in an F-15, and spent his whole career trying to prove it.
