A Russian court-martial recently convicted an Air Force general of violating flying rules and causing the loss of a Su-27UB jet fighter.
Both the general and his instructor managed to eject safely after the general, who was learning how to operate the Su-27 had tried to perform an acrobatic maneuver he did know how to handle in an Su-27.
Disobeying the instructor, the general went ahead, the aircraft went out of control and both he and his instructor had to eject before the aircraft crashed.
The prosecutor wanted to send the general to prison for five years and fine him $3.2 million (the cost of the aircraft).

Het verhaal op Strategypage stopt hier echter niet. Een eerder ongeval met een generaal die een Russische Flogger vloog liep dodelijk af...
As he came in lower with his Mig-23, the cockpit warning system began to announce, in a taped feminine voice,
that various systems were broken and suggesting alternative procedures.
The general was really =censored= off at this point and as he crashed, his last words were, "Shut up you wh@r3 , don't try and tell me how to fly an airplane."

Soms moet je toch echt naar "B!tching Betty" luisteren EN gehoorzamen...
