Hard to say. Some military flight proficiency training requires flying very close to the ground at high speed. Civilian pilots would likely have very little excuse for doing so. IMO, there is more than a little hot dog in ALL pilots. They prefer to call it confidence. Perhaps a very fine line. Not everyone can be the WGFP (World's Greatest Fighter Pilot) but among military aviators, you're expected to think it's you. I don't know what specific charge led to the conviction. There have been many civil aviation disasters that have cited pilot error as the primary cause. I'm not aware of many commercial pilots who did time.
