Indeed glad it's ending, if it indeed is.
So you’re also upset that Obama started implementing it?

Sure, whoever is qualified for the job should get the job. Regardless of sex, race, religion or whatever.
All I was pointing out was that Don did nothing about it his first four years. That's all.

Well I’m certainly glad that you are obviously more upset over Obama implementing DEI than you are over why Trump didn’t “do anything” his first term.
That Obama was one big pile of shite, wasn’t he?

Could you explain why we know the names of pilots in every aviation crash in history. But in this accident, one of the worst in history, the pilot who caused it does not matter according to you
Could you explain why, TT9?

maybe when the remains are transferred at Dover, the parents will be present and IDENTIFIED

This is a terrible accident but if the measuring stick is deaths or human error there have been a lot worse.

FWIW, this comes from another board, poster claims to have flown Blackhawks for the Army for 20 years. I did NOT write this:
quote:
Thought I would jump on here and discuss some things in the wake of this tragedy. For reference, I’ve been flying Blackhawks for over 20 years and have logged about 1000 flight hours flying through the National Capitol Region. I’ve flown that route myself many many times.
1. We don’t have any type of air to air radar onboard. The accident aircraft was likely the older UH60L model. It’s all analog gauges in the cockpit. No autopilot. The newer UH60M model has a 4 axis fully coupled autopilot.
2. The capitol region, like most big cities, have special helo route charts for navigation. The routing and altitudes are very specific. That portion of the route is 200 feet and below for helos. Looks like the helo might have been operating above that altitude.
3. In my experience, the helo routes are well designed. It’s congested and busy, but it all works if everyone does what they are supposed to do. I never had any close calls while I flew there. Haven’t heard of any either.
4. The UH60 does have a black box. Some media outlets stated that we don’t. It orange and it’s in the tailboom. It does have a flight voice recorder and it captures all of the flight data.
5. Blackhawks do not have ADSB-In, only ADSB-Out. Would ADSB-in have made a difference…it’s debatable.
6. TCAS. The UH60 does not have TCAS. I don’t think that would have helped though. I remember hearing airline pilots making radio calls there with their TCAS going off in the background as they passed over my aircraft. It was normal. The route structure would have it going off every time. I feel like it would just get tuned out. But again, the routes work if everyone does what they are supposed to.
Lastly, this was a tragedy. I’m still not sure I’ve fully processed that one of our helicopters collided with a passenger jet. Fortunately, I did not know the crew members personally, but I’ve seen this too many times. I’m posting this to hopefully help some on this board process all this (Maybe help myself process it a little bit as well). Prayers for ALL of the families impacted. And thank God the debris field ended up in the river and not over a populated portion of the city.

I wonder if something blew up inside the cabin. Oxygen?

Wrong plane crash thread. We have two to keep up with now.

Because the female pilot will be treated worse than Richard Jewel.
The voice and data recorder is the most important thing now. We should hear about that by Monday at the latest.

Also do you think the people in plane were all killed instantly? Or possibly survived only to drown in the freezing water? I hope they didn’t suffer for long.

Huh? She caused the crash and is literally dead.
You’re worried they may blame the wrong person?
Wut

His entire first term was hijacked by the deep state and RINOs. They literally lied to him about senior level shite like withdrawing troops from multiple countries

As I've said before, we don't know which crew member made which mistake. If it was an eval the evaluator pilot is supervising and ultimately responsible for safety of flight intervention. Also, even during an eval, it's possible that they switched roles so the evaluator could.oerform a specific flight task for currency. But, some of ya'll just want the female pilot's identified and have already assigned blame. Best to exercise a bit of patience and wait for details so when contributing factors and responsibility are determined it is fully supported by facts. That way we can actually fix underlying issues, procedures, etc
