USAF Thunderbirds CO relieved of command

Just saw this in the news headlines this morning.

"lost confidence in his leadership..."

The biggest cop-out explanation. Pretty much anyone who gets "relieved" of command, the explanation is always "lost confidence."

Whatever.

At least they go on to say it's also because of his risk-management. So that's something.

So a nameless faceless air show manager gets canned, BFD.

Actually it is. His Air Force career is over. Of course, he'll get hired at SWA lickety split.

The CO isn’t an air show manager.

They always have a reason, if it's not UCMJ material, there's no obligation or good reason to embarrass anyone with public details. Same as how HR would treat a similar situation, with confidentiality.

Now if there's scandal or UCMJ involved, then they probably owe the public an explanation.

Like the man said, "There is a woman in there some where."

The guy who flies the #1 lead jet in a 6-aircraft air demonstration team is hardly that.

Seriously...you're clearly not a military pilot. Why are you on this forum?

Look at the rest of his posts. Sure would be a fun 4 day with that dude.
