I'm not sure what kind of training they were doing at Las Vegas/Creech, but I'll take a wild guess that the higher ups at Miramar wanted them back asap for whatever reason. The weather was bad, bad enough they should have stayed grounded.

Sounds like she didn't like flying with him at all. You can sense the frustration, but she never questioned his obvious mistakes. "Go around?" Tells me everything right there.

The funniest one is that an E7 left a towbar attached to the helo nosegear. Of couse the pilots didn't notice and he stepped over it several times during engine starts and rotor turn. This was over 30 years ago.
They figured out something was wrong...
