BlackHawk Army Helicopter’s Tracking Tech Turned Off at Time of DC Crash

That "accident" is full of suspicious activity.

quote:

---

Did they drop off a VIP?

---

If they did on a training flight someone should be fired.

Plenty of weirdness with that female pilot.

I read that they turn that off during continuance of government training so that potential threats don't know the routes, altitude and such that the helicopters use to fly government officials around during crisis situations. Take for instance the Prez and VP go down and a helicopter picks up the Speaker of the House, who is next in line as president, and takes him or her to a different location.

Not military so I'll defer to those who were, but a training mission being flown like this seems like a live fire exercise with civilians down range.

the only time this is turned off is when a VIP was transported

They were doing VIP drills so it stands to reason this is why it was turned off.

They were training. And they don't just do continuality of govt, they are the taxi to the top brass wanting to avoid traffic.

Standard procedure for military flights. It’s in most check lists to turn it off

She should have never been at the controls. Almost certainly wouldn’t have been in the Army of 25 years ago.
