No it doesn't. It explains what happened. This explains what went wrong : https://www.f-16.net/f-16-news-article968.html and what they did about it, which I think was exactly the wrong way to fix that.

Converting to MSL for every show is stupid.
For the remainder of his Thunderbird assignment, which ended in Jan 2004. Then 2 years as pilot career field manager (desk), then alternating flying, school, and staff jobs. I believe currently he is vice commander of the 9th Reconnaissance Wing (U-2 and RQ-4) at Beale AFB. He screwed upbuthe recovered.
