The U.S. Army on Friday released the names of two of the soldiers killed when the military Black Hawk in which they were flying collided with a passenger jet, but said, in an unusual decision, that they were not releasing the third name at the request of the family.
The Army identified two of the soldiers killed in Wednesday’s crash in Washington as Staff Sergeant Ryan Austin O’Hara, 28, and Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves, 39, but did not provide details about the third.
Reuters had reported on Thursday, citing an Army official, that the crew of the Black Hawk involved in the deadly crash with an American Airlines regional passenger jet included two male soldiers and one female soldier.
“At the request of the family, the name of the third Soldier will not be released at this time,” an Army statement said. More
Fox News confirms the gender of the helicopter co-pilot. The article goes on to state that “The Black Hawk crew chief, identified as Ryan O’Hara, was flying the Black Hawk and also being evaluated at the time. O’Hara had 1,000 hours of flight time.” Here
…there’s a video at a different angle that shows the Black Hawk shearing off the jet’s tail.

…if it had been a second slower or the jet a second faster, a near miss is all this would be…
I’m starting to smell a rat.
” that they were not releasing the third name at the request of the family.”
No offense to the woman’s fam, but that’s not smart.
If we have to get it through FOIA, it’s gonna get really nasty.
Her name was Fred.
“Fox News confirms the gender” ?????
But not the sex? WTF?
EVERYTHING about this crash stinks. The Deep State needs to go.
Given the pervasive perversions around us, I’d write that headline this way:
Pentagon Not Releasing the Name of “Female” Helicopter Co-Pilot
It’s not unusual for the crew chief to pilot the aircraft. A lot of military helo pilots were crew chiefs starting out then became pilots. That being said mistakes were made the biggest is that no aircraft not landing needs to be in the approach final of an airport.
never mind the gender, what was the sex of the preferred pronoun her.
Tons of theories about “her” being a trans going around
“It’s not unusual for the crew chief to pilot the aircraft. A lot of military helo pilots were crew chiefs starting out then became pilots.”
I’ve never seen nor even heard of a Crew Chief piloting a helicopter.
This training mission was to prepare for “Continuity of Government”, ostensibly in the event of a natural disaster, mass leadership decapitation strike, terrorist attack or civil war. That’s all well and good, but if any of those events ever occur, we know from past experience that all non-military flights will be grounded, and it’s quite likely that there will be blackouts in DC, either by orders or by infrastructure attacks.
So why war-game around a busy airport in a brightly lit city with night-vision goggles? It makes no sense at all. The government has plenty of land in remote areas, and existing training facilities which could be set up to simulate various disaster scenarios in which government helos might be operating.
But we know from recent past experience that our government has no qualms about endangering civilians and using them in tests without informing them and without asking permission. And we also know that the top levels of our military—and high level leftist politicians and bureaucrats—have had paranoid fantasies about right-wing domestic terrorists wreaking havoc on our country, and DC in particular. This nonsense needs to be addressed and eradicated immediately.
The only helicopters which should be flying anywhere near that airport should be police and rescue aircraft, and they should be kept at a safe distance from that airport. If that is not feasible for them to do their jobs, maybe it is time to shut that airport down. I know it’s quite convenient for denizens of DC, but there are plenty of airports in the metro DC area, and that real estate could be put to good use in other capacities.
And PDT needs to wean our leftist deep state from this obsession with right-wing domestic terrorism to the exclusion of things that might actually happen.

Odd are up now that her name was Shaniqua.
a boy named Sue?
The name is being withheld because it’s going to embarrass the seditious gay Kenyan commie and Biden.
Fools. By not being upfront and honest the information void is being filled with rumors. Better off to be honest, deal with it, and move on.
Helos have a max elevation of 200 feet on approach at that airport. The crash occurred at approx 600 feet. That Helo was trans-versing the runways. Bisecting them. The tower had the airliner switch runways once. Why would the tower not shut that shit down. Park all planes, get everything on approach back on their tail and up circling until you got the damn helo out of there. Will probably never know what caused this. But competent people in the Tower could have prevented it.

Smelling a rat? Yeah, a DEI rat!
I was a beltway bandit for many years and traveled up there hundreds of times to stay in Alexandria. Airliners followed the Potomac from north and south depending upon the wind into Reagan. Helicopters also flew along the Potomac into Boling which is just across the river! The helicopters include Marine 1 for the prez and other squadrons for other stuff….but the deal is they stay on the east bank at an altitude not to exceed 200 feet. The army pilot screwed up horribly. If it turns out that “she” is her preferred pronoun, The Prez is going to jump up on the Resolute desk…drop trou..lay a foot-long..roll in it…and fire all of these mental cases from the armed service’s. For Gods sake, flat feet and night sweats are disqualifying, WTF are insane people in there?
The family should not be allowed to withhold the name of their family member who possibly is responsible for the deaths of the Blackhawk crew and that civilian passenger plane. Hopefully, this information will be leaked. What is the family hiding.
This “female” pilot may not be a victim. “She” may be a perp. The investigation is being conducted like the mid-air collision was an accident, but it might actually be a criminal case of negligence or intentional based on the actions of one of the Blackhawk helicopter pilots.
