If your negligence causes a homicide, it is at least Manslaughter
which is a felony.

Surely Lieutenant Colonel James Parker was aware that he was at ~380
knots and 2,000 feet, so he was aware that he was in violation of FAR
91.117, and deliberately chose to continue to operate his flight at
that speed, and endanger the safety other flights in the area, instead
of slowing down.
