ATAC is a top notch company in my opinion. Both on the operation side and the maintenance side. Their top maintainer was one of the top guy's in charge of the East Coast Hornet RAG maintenance when I was there as an instructor. Not all - but it seems that many of the maintainers either come from Oceana or Langley.
There is no question as to the quality of aviator that Lex embodied. This mishap will be one that all aviators can learn from when the final report comes out and hope that none of us ever find ourselves in a similar situation.

Well said, USMCFLYR. Wasnt implying anything at all. I have nothing but respect for the ATAC bubbas out there. Always had a professional (and fun) event when training with them.
