The crew was involved in a low level, authorized mission that followed the flight plan. The military routinely conducts such training to achieve and maintain flight skills required for combat. The altitudes and air speeds were within the expected limits for such training. The cause of the accident was that the gondola cable was not depicted on the DOD charts provided for the aircrew. All the facts of the incident were throughly reviewed by the Court Marshal and the pilot and other aircrew were exonerated of all charges, except concealing evidence. To state that this is an example of "rogue" flying behavior is simply incorrect, unless you believe that routine low level flight training conducted by the USAF, USN and USMC constitutes "rogue" behavior.
