The Air Force’s Accident Investigation Board concluded that “crew decision-making including those on the in-flight conference call,” lack of “oversight for the hazardous material program,” which oversees storage and distribution of the hydraulic fluid, and not properly following aircraft hydraulics servicing procedures, all contributed to the crash.

They managed to put the blame on just about every person involved with the plane while still managing to avoid pointing out an obvious design flaw with the plane.
