It was a bad situation, they got painted into a corner before anyone knew what happened, and he just happened to be flying the jet with no gas. There are a million "what if's" with this one, none of which will change anything.

My understanding is that since it has an "N" number, and operates under the guise of the FAR's and NTSB 830, it falls on the NTSB to investigate. The only thing the Navy had to do with it was the point of origin/destination.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Lest We Forget.

Not really any NEW information for those that have been following this mishap, but it does make mention that the NTSB Preliminary report was released last week.
