Only thing that seems logical is that he went back to "take a peek" at the gear and fell.

That's the only thing I thought of as well.  Strange situation.

Yup, that's what makes it so puzzling.

He used to work as a roadie for Jethro Tull.  This is why he was fired.

In all seriousness.  This guy will have a fun time in prison.

Update on the pilot jumping out; 911 call from controllers….

Co-pilot who died after exiting plane in mid-flight emergency 'jumped'
https://mol.im/a/11077009

I listened to that 911 call, it's still no evidence the copilot deliberately "jumped" from the airplane...

Barring further evidence coming to light, the most likely working theory is that this was an attempt to visually check the damaged right main while in flight, gone horribly wrong. 

Anyone who has ever been anywhere near an open Herc ramp in flight, wouldn't think of doing so without a harness attached.

Agreed

The controllers were quoting the pilot who landed, but there’s a lot unanswered; jumped, fell , pushed, etc.

Translation: "Air Force fan website says brit private pilots make image of Queen, which is better than US Navy cock and balls."

And in semi-related news - airforcetimes is clearly hitting on all cylinders today, with this headline, "5 military movies that would be better with Velociraptors."  Not sure if that's a good thing or not (might be).

By the time he gets out of prison, he will have learned how to play "Bungle in the Jungle" with a plethora of different types of skin flutes.

Based on the ADS-B track, CP was on his third training sortie.  Started with a jump run, went to the pattern, two circuits, then headed for RDU and declared, implying the second bounce went wrong (hard landing, etc). Ref: video I'd posted earlier

I like the way you think but I was envisioning the flute being shoved from the opposite direction, feed the douchebag beans, and have him blow Mozarts Magic Flute out of his ass.  Punishment with classical music appreciation and education all rolled into one. 

Reminder that "he" is from CA. So reward will be a medal for his degenerate behavior and a long line of parents to "groom" their kids. 

That’s pretty solid evidence it was suicide, unless the pilot is completely lying to ATC, but doesn’t seem like it.
