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.
