I didn't think he was flying dark. You can clearly see him and radio tower was in contact

What the hell, they said a training flight. I don't see how turning off the ADS-B would have been required for a training flight, especially in that airspace.

U.S. federal, state and local government aircraft performing sensitive operations are now permitted to fly with their installed automatic dependent surveillance broadcast (ADS-B) position reporting electronics turned off, according to a new rule published by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Thursday.
Under the new rule, aircraft conducting operations related to homeland security, law enforcement, national defense and intelligence that could be compromised by transmitting real-time aircraft position information are permitted to disable ADS-B transmissions after obtaining proper authorization from the FAA.

I'm curious if the stealth capabilities the Blackhawk has is why TCAS didn't trigger.
Pretty sure pilots are taught not to ignore that stuff.

Don't see.where that played a role. ATC appears to have been aware of where it was and was trying to direct it.

Damn starting to not sound great, was hopeful at first that there could be survivors when they first announced pulling people out. Thought maybe the plane could have crashed into the water at an angle that wasn’t too devestating.

Plane looks like it was split in half. Hearing three debris fields - body of the plane is in two different locations in the water

And why are they even in that airspace?
