Guys, the bottom line is it was most likely pilot error

Exceedingly unlikely, and you would know that if you knew the skill level of these guys. These are old, tired airframes. Well maintained or not, things break.

I know the level of skill these pilots have but most crashes are due to pilot error. Good pilots make mistakes too.

The Thunderbirds crashed one a couple of years ago, it was pure pilot error, he was doing a Split S maneuver and didn’t get enough altitude. When you fly by wire that doesn’t work. He got out btw.
