This jet crashed due to a pilot induced over G the pilot did not survive. It was overall a good jet I was sad.

What a pig! Think she was in Korea to long, needed some fresh air. Had a very awesome TDY to the Philippines. Got another incentive ride over Korea, that was cool. My year is up and off to the DEPOT 2952 CLSS, in Ogden Ut. Time to see a different side of the aircraft.
