In other news, we fucking called it over a year ago. You can’t fix stupid:
Secret Service urged Trump to depart Turkey on old Air Force One as a security precaution: Report
The Secret Service urged President Donald Trump to fly out of Turkey on the old Air Force One instead of the newly retrofitted Qatari-gifted plane out of an abundance of caution amid the escalation with Iran, multiple sources familiar with the plans told ABC News.

The government has subpoenaed several New York Times reporters who wrote that security concerns were the reason old VC-25A was used over the 'bridge' VC-25B when the President departed Turkey.
That looked fine to me.
More than one pilot has died in vain while trying to look good for the cameras.
I get it. I am a field grade O and a drone guy now, so maybe I'm just a grandpa yelling at clouds. But to me there is nothing cool about this. It was dumb. Be a professional, stick to the script and follow the rules.
Don't take stupid risks to look cool. We can't replace you or your airplane when you fuck it away.

Let’s trust the process and let ‘em investigate. In Naval Aviation we are professionals, and professionals hold one another accountable if need be. This pass could be a genuine mistake made by one person or something else entirely. There is just no way to know right now. I am thankful everyone is safe and genuinely look forward to learning the rest of the story in due time.
Traditionally, I'd agree with you. However, "trust the process" is exactly what gets broken when undue influence is exerted by SECDEF or someone else high up the chain of command.
SECDEF has a job to do, and it's not interfering in command investigation of SOP violations because they looked cool to Kid Rock, etc. What Pete is doing is bad for flight discipline. It's not being an old man yelling at clouds to expect the SOP to be upheld. I have at least two friends who are no longer with us because they tried to look cool and messed up.
