DC - helicopter & passenger jet collide in mid-air

[Brian4Liberty]

Have they released the names of all 3 in the helicopter?

Only one I have seen is the crew chief, Ryan O'Hara. Have not seen anything about the pilots.

"Andrew Eaves, identified as a Chief Warrant Officer, was one of the pilots on the flight."

The dog that isn't barking:

No, they haven't released the name of the female pilot.

(Black Hawks have two pilots and a crew chief)

Just 24 HOURS before an American Airlines flight collided with a Blackhawk at Reagan National Airport, ANOTHER American flight had to abort landing due to a helicopter crossing its flight path at the same airport

AA4514 can be seen on radar having to go around a make a second attempt, and is currently under investigation.

This should NOT be happening!

Hitting the plane on purpose makes sense.

Just seemed deliberate

Time to identify the pilot

Based on this video, I'm pretty sure I'm right about the flare deployment.

Several things don't make sense here.

Media are going on about altitude violations. The grand error lay in violating the approach corridor. There's all sorts of facts that don't add up. The hawk cre needs to be investigated with a curry comb to verify that there was no suicide in all this.

I will be interested in see what they conclude.

The last fatal scheduled airline crash in 2009 had a female in the cockpit as well.

Best close-up I've found of the incident so far:

Keep in mind that both aircraft were on their flight paths for longer than these cropped videos show. I'm no pilot but I just don't see how the helicopter pilot couldn't see the plane to his left, and even just 30 seconds before impact start taking evasive maneuvers. The pilot I could understand not having as many options because he's set up for landing on final approach, I suppose, and the helicopter is a bit harder to see.

Not sure how they can keep that out of the pubic record.

What are they trying to hide?

And I don't defend that. Unlike you I'm honest. I'm not the one pretending that there was never an office of DEI in the SBA.

Read it and weep.

A subsection of the SBA that O'Bummer created is not "the office of DEI", and that's a minor quibble.

You absolutely do defend what the FAA did, because you defend DEI, I opposed Trump's racially targeted SBA program and you defended it.
You are a racist and you lie about DEI.

The purpose of DEI is to disregard merit and qualifications and give things to people because of identity politics, you even admit it when you are not paying attention, you say its purpose is to increase diversity, increasing diversity means making identity the deciding factor instead of merit or qualifications.

JUST IN: The third soldier aboard the Black Hawk that crashed into the American Airlines plane has been identified as Capt. Rebecca Lobach, who previously worked as a White House aide in the Biden admin.

Lobach, 28, served as an aviation officer in the Army.

“We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Rebecca. She was a bright star in all our lives. Rebecca was a warrior and would not hesitate to defend her country in battle," her family said.

According to CBS, Lobach served as a White House social aide under the Biden administration.

Last month, she escorted Ralph Lauren when he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Biden.

Was anyone else under the impression that it was a Black broad?
