To all military flight leaders out there. What would you say in the debrief if a flight member did this at altitude around your formation - MUCH LESS during a fly-by?
I have met a few of the GMBs and I have a former squadron mate flying with them last I heard (hope it wasn't him) - but the whole story is not being told here IMO.

Yeah, if you're gonna lag roll to kill energy it wouldn't be around the formation when you're on the outside...he's got big brass one's though!
