Captain Rebecca Lobach Identified as Third Black Hawk Pilot Who Died in Collision with American Airlines Flight in DC

February 2nd, 2025

There’s so much shrill noise on X about incompetence, DEI hires, etc.

Please stop.

This is the opposite of incompetence:

Would this have even been possible without some sort of computer guidance?

Via: Daily Mail:

The U.S. Army has identified the third pilot of the H-60 Black Hawk Helicopter that collided with an American Airline CRJ-700 passenger jet on Wednesday as it was on approach to land at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, killing 67 people.

Captain Rebecca M. Lobach, 28, from Durham, North Carolina was one of three soldiers aboard the chopper that crashed into the jet just as it was coming into land.

The Army had initially refused to identify Lobach at the request of her family but the decision to release her name came ‘at the request of and in coordination with the family,’ according to a statement released by the Army.

‘We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Rebecca. She was a bright star in all our lives,’ her family said. ‘Rebecca was a warrior and would not hesitate to defend her country in battle.’

Lobach had worked as a White House aide during the Biden administration and had served as an aviation officer in the Army from July 2019 until January 2025.

    “Flying towards each other” is too much. It’s “collision” upgraded, suggesting that both the helicopter and the plane were to blame. If the diagram we’ve seen of a top-down view is accurate, the plane was on course, but the helicopter was wandering back and forth a bit, enough to run into the side of the plane. Is this a not-so-subtle effort to turn our attention away from other causes?

    Figured you meant this was no accident. No accident is my take. And if Matrix Autonomous flight was activated, our soldiers could have been innocent of the whole event. Assuming the flight recorder indicate this – but…

  3. The flight recorder will reveal any speed changes.

    Matrix Autonomous Information Control has been activated. We’ll hear what it wants us to hear.
