The remora of JPP
The Army released the name of the third crew member of the Black Hawk helicopter that slammed into an American Airlines-affiliated flight above the Potomac River this week, killing 67 people.

Captain Rebecca Lobach was 28 years old and a native of Durham, N.C. She was a distinguished military graduate from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and commissioned in 2019 as an active-duty aviation officer.

a faggot and a woman. The worst combination. Women can't even drive cars decently, why the fuck are we letting them pilot aircraft?

Why are we pushing for women and even trans to be front line combat troops when there is no doubt that doing so weakens the force?

Because this is a dark age...ideology comes first.

Men and women are about equally safe drivers. How do you feel about Asian drivers?

Do you feel the same about ww2 Russian female snipers?

The idea is that the copter pilot, the only one who was for sure wrong based upon what I know, may have been a CIA operative in an ANTI MAGA operation.

I don't know what "wrong based" is.

The W2 was in charge of the training and could have stepped in at any time. Why did he let her go a half mile off course and well above safe altitude?

Anti maga? ... she would have shot the crew and flew into the nearby white house. Crashing into a civilian plane achieves nothing.
 

Michael 'Rocket' Blackstone, a 43 year pilot, 26 year airline pilot, and aerobatic performer and stunt pilot describes what he feels to be the likely causes of the unthinkable....a midair collision between a military H-60 and an airliner. This is the first midair collision on US soil since the Aeromexico crash in Southern California in 1986 - some 38 year ago. The likely causes are now pointing toward the 28 year old female pilot, Captain Rebecca Lobach who was at the controls of the H-60 with only 500 hours of flight time was allegedly taking a competency check ride with Chief Warrent Officer Andrew Eaves, 39 was evaluating her had only 1,000 hours. The pair failed to see and avoid traffic called out by Washington Tower after stating that they had the traffic in sight. Clearly the H-60 crew did not have the traffic in sight, failed to fly at or below the required 200' altitude on the route, and are the likely cause of 67 people to lose their lives. My heart and prayers go out to everyone involved in this horrible aviation tragedy. May this never happen again.

"On July 7, 2015, an F-16 fighter jet operated by the United States Air Force collided in-flight with a private Cessna 150 single-engine light aircraft over Moncks Corner, South Carolina, United States. Both occupants of the Cessna were killed; the pilot of the F-16 ejected safely."

After watching the video I am still blaming the copter not the controller.

The ATC should have clarified the position of the airplane more clearly. His radar showed they were on a collision course even after he warned them.

The copter was at fault, too. As with most air accidents, they are usually attributable to a chain of events. To wit - breaking any link in the chain could have prevented the accident.
