Experience in IR. And by a long way the most important, an expert in understanding the problems with witness testimony in air crashes. But no specialist in the video equipment or aerial photography these images often come from (F-18 FLIR). Hopefully they can request expert testimony.

People misunderstanding mis remembering what they see in aerial crashes etc is a major issue for FAA investigations.
