A Warrant Officer pilot would have completed a rotation at the NTC During his/her career. That's the same area that this crash occurred in. No one flies in this area without NVG's. It's dark at night with no illumination. The "Warrant" would have turned this turd down.  These folks were following the freeway with 2% moon illumination at night in marginal weather. Absolutly a civilian trained pilot.  BTW, NTSB briefing stated a PIC and a "Safety pilot" were onboard.  Smells like a 135 operation that also trains pilots by having them fly 135 flights with a "Safety pilot" onboard as the actual PIC. Just saying.
