How many aviators have shelled out of airplanes with "minor" injuries yet were never ID'd to the public, I don't see this mishap as being any different.
I somewhat disagree. A multi-million dollar piece of taxpayer property was destroyed. Unless there are OPSEC or technology considerations, some basic info should be released. Otherwise the situation gives off coverup vibes.
Political considerations may preclude naming the pilot (or his nationality).
