    Exactly, they are only able to emit recommendations, based on the primary and secondary causes found during the investigation. Their main task is to find why did it happened, but not who should be prosecuted. Fact are, the FAA doesn't have the authority to investigate, and the NTSB doesn't have the power of the Department of Transportation. If the DoT (and the FAA) considers the Safety Board's recommendation as "unacceptable", the page will be turned and the case closed. Until other will pay the price with their lives. As an example, the DoT considered 255 recommendations from the NTSB in 2015 (including all means of transportation). In 2015, 150 of those were implemented, 87 still being considered, and 68 closed as unacceptable. I did a bad graph some time ago, just to give an impression of how "perplex" the FAA's case is. (I'm a PowerPoint disaster, sorry for it) Just as many others, sadly. The case of Ju-Air's HB-HOT is somewhat similar to N93012 on the technical sight. Fact is, those warbirds cost a tremendous amount to maintain airborne, and it isn't the seats sold for half an hour of flight (even at a few thousands) that can cover the whole cost of operation.

    I'm a bit confused there. Why on earth FAA's investigators would investigate in an accident/incident? Their sphere of influence is limited to the FAA workforce and administration. Since the death of the Civil Aeronautics Board, back in 1985, the NTSB owns the throne. It's the only investigative agency for civilian means of transportations, and is independent from the DoT (and therefore from the FAA). Concerning the CRM, it wouldn't be a surprise if it failed at one point. Whatever the number of events, the amount of trainings, and capabilities of crew, you will always have a point of rupture in the CRM link. I'm going to be shot for that... but do you think it's safe to have septuagenarian pilots, even with great experience, at the control of a four-engine even older than them and requiring a high amount of psychological and physical ressources to be flown? By the way, the NTSB's preliminary report is available for some times: https://app.ntsb.gov/pdfgenerator/ReportGeneratorFile.ashx?EventID=20191002X11326&AKey=1&RType=HTML&IType=MA Edit: If anyone is interested, Windsor Locks-Bradley Intl's ATC recording is also available (N93012's landing clearance at 1:00).

    If someone want a slightly more real sight, it could go for Cross of Iron (1977) or Stalingrad (1993). Similarly, Das Boot (1981) is still one of the few movie to give somewhat an idea of what the submarine warfare was 80 years ago. Probably those who don't like the idea that Verhoeven and his team destroyed the original militarist novel.

    Florida and Brevard still not being under lockdown, I went for AEHF-6. As you can see, I was far from being the only one. Except I stayed pretty much far away from anybody, while those people on boats... As usual, Atlas V is the "race car" of all launchers at the Cape. Always astonishing to look at.

    While this is mostly true for a good amount of Eurasian cultures, other cultures are not glorifying the concept of war. China is an interesting case. To be honest, I would be very interested to find the difference of numbers between statues and memorials dedicated to warriors and officers in China, and those dedicated to thinkers, philosophers, and leaders.

    Visibility isn’t really great around the Cape, lot of clouds too, but the wind is almost nonexistent, at least.
