l' USAF vient, pour la seconde fois, de perdre un avion lourd au cours de la préparation d'un show aérien pour la même cause : overconfidence ! un article détaille les erreurs commises ayant entraine le récent crash, en Alaska, d'un C17

extrait : In 1994, the USAF lost a B-52 and all four officers onboard after the pilot - Lt Col Arthur Holland - stalled the bomber in a low-speed turn while practicing for an airshow. In the subsequent investigation, it was revealed that the unit's commanders had disregarded serious warnings about reckless flying by Holland from his peers and even junior officers.
In both cases, however, the USAF's local chain of command failed to stop a pilot from planning and performing a deliberately unsafe airshow routine.
Instead, Freyholtz's supervisors merely "assumed he was within regulatory compliance," the report says, "and did not inquire or review [his] techniques or performances. Without checks and balances, the [mishap pilot's] aerial demonstration techniques evolved into an unsafe programme."
