Besides, from the rest of the article -- the part where he wrote a nasty
email to one of the people who reported the flyby -- he sounds like he
really loved flying and was pretty angry about getting busted. But that
same incident demonstrates his continuing poor judgementand lack of
maturity. He broke the rules and knew it; blaming others for turning him
in
was just plain childish. Sounds like he thought it would have been OK to
violate flight safety rules if no one had caught him at it.


Yep, I agree. The letter writing incident is almost more revealing about
his character than the whole flyby part of it. There is probably a lot more
to this story, involving his personality, than what got wrote up in the LA
Times article. He probably ****ed off more than a few people along the way
of his military career and when he needed some help at the end of the long,
green table - there was none to be found.
