The wishcasting by both sides of the political spectrum any time a tragedy happens would put a hurricane thread to shame.

Your post is 24 hours late. Wishcasting occurs before news is released. We know what the flight was for and who was pic under evaluation.

idk man. for every retard like Tdsngumbo you also have actual pilots/former air traffic controllers posting in here.

hurricane threads you have actual meteorologists

"insert random event here" happens and there's a 99% chance some baw on here who knows the ins and outs of it is gonna show up and give us the rundown

TD is a pretty cool place. You just have to weed through the Tdsngumbo/sirwinstons of the world

Not that I deny being a retard, but what's wrong with what I've posted in this thread?

Perhaps you might be confusing news and facts? The facts are that the pilot was female. Not all female pilots are the product of DEI. Hope this helps.

As long as they all **aren't**, then they all are fair game to be suspected of DEI hiring/retention/promotion. Period. It may not be fair, but thems the breaks when DEI enters the chat.

This would be a better video. Also, most night vision today is autogated.

Auto Gating is a crucial technology in modern-day NVDs. It makes the device capable of giving clear visuals infrequent and sudden changes in light conditions. Placed within the image intensifier tube, it enables the amount of light reaching the intensifier to be automatically gated.

Possibility exists that the training flight was remedial to over come a performance deficiency. Not a good look for the army

yesterday there was a photo of a house that was to be the origination of the helo flight. Could be a story about whose house

What's the hold up on identifying this pilot. We knew the names of everyone else yesterday, but nothing on this person.

That’s a valid question. As to why this pilot’s identity has been released, I can only guess it’s due to family notification. Though, it’s been an unusually long time for that to be the issue.

Fox News just a bit ago said it was family choosing to withhold name. Can't blame them for wanting some privacy as they cope w the initial shock and mourning.

---

I didn’t know the family had that option. But it’s understandable in these circumstances. I say that because it’s apparent the perception of the public is the responsibility for this accident lays with some sort of combination of the helicopter pilot(s) and ATC to some degree or another.

The family is probably trying to not add the inevitable media circus that would befall them after they were identified as the family of the pilot right as they’re trying to come to terms with the loss of their loved one.
