Lilley's dad

quote:

Lilley Sr. said he himself was a former Army Black Hawk pilot and flew the same route as the helicopter involved in the collision.

'Samuel was in the prime of his life. He was engaged to a beautiful, wonderful girl and we were all excited about her joining the family,' he told DailyMail.com.


TN Rep. Mark Green

quote:

A top Republican who was a former helicopter flight surgeon detailed what the pilots of the Army Black Hawk would have likely seen immediately before the fatal plane crash in Washington, D.C.


quote:

Rep. Mark Green (R-Tenn.) revealed that the military helicopter pilots could have been blinded by city lights immediately before the deadly crash.

A former flight surgeon for the Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, Green, 60, served in Afghanistan and Iraq. He was the special operations flight surgeon on the mission that captured Saddam Hussein.

First media question at the ntsb presser was a soy boy asking about Trump talking about DEI and the NTSB says "we always look at the humans involved" and didn't shut down what Trump said in the slightest.

Media and over-reacters in shambles.

Yeah one of the articles posted that one of the kids had posted on his Instagram after boarding the flight, so naturally I looked him up. Just 16 years old. So sad.

News is breaking that ATC was short staffed and had one person manning two towers. Things about to get way worse for DCA.

Little aviation soy boy on CNN crying about how we don't know any biographical info about the people involved and no way DEI could have been a factor. Looked like he was about the cry

"THE RIGHT has latched on to DEI, what they call a woke practice."

Real impartial from their aviation "expert"

This guy got a text from his wife and she was twenty minutes out. Then she never responded back to messages he sent.
