And I didn't want to make it sound as if you pardoned a criminal. :-) I just wanted to make clear that this was *not* "some unaware pilot" who "cuts the cable". He knew the cable was there. He wanted to fly under it and make a nice film, which was common practice in this unit at Aviano/Italy. Even their commander did it (and lost his command because of that). The cable was around 85 to 95 m AGL (~300 ft), and the minimum altitude allowed in this area was 150 m (~500 ft) at this time. This was afterwards raised to 600 m (~2000 ft). m.
