Let me know if it helps.  I’m willing to try most anything.

Great (Airplane) reference.... Please take your star!!

“I could be wrong and he’s that stupid”

Given how insane everything is right now... How can you be sure you actually quit?!

Ironic, given they are the cause of the very ills they claim they alone can fix.

The US is the biggest bully since the pre 1940's British Empire. We are not ripped off or exploited by anyone. When our military or dollar-policy says “Jump”, other countries ask “How high?”. This current Administration has such a victim-mentality, or more accurately, exploits the massive desire of the populace to…

I posted my comment from the top and didn’t see yours. Tragic accident and all too preventable, but pretty much every accident can be prevented if just one of the links in the accident chain can be broken. Tale as old as time, unfortunately.

VH-60 “Gold Top” Blackhawk used for VIP transport. Highly likely that it had TCAS given its job, but the AIB/NTSB report will be where that’s confirmed.

He’s better at piloting than the pilots!

TCAS is inoperable under 1000ft.

99% is the helicopter’s fault. Approach and departure is so regimented at DCA, the AA flight was certainly exactly where it was supposed to be. There are helicopters EVERYWHERE around DC, at all times, and they possibly need to be tightened up. As they say, every aviation regulation is written in blood. And the vast…

Aircraft was on an approach to a different runway than usually used, so helicopter pilot may have fixated on wrong aircraft on approach. He told ATC he had the plane in sight, but speculation is he had the wrong plane in sight.

Comments on other boards indicate TCAS notifications are off under a certain altitude on civilian aircraft. I don’t think military helos have TCAS.

I saw somewhere else that it was a training flight on a VFR. My offhand guess is they were off-course and it didn’t get corrected by ATC.

DEI hire in Reagan ATC for sure. Or maybe the helicopter pilot’s second cousin is trans. Or maybe this is why we should re-designate them Sikorsky “White-Hawks.”

But seriously, this is horrible. My heart is with all the victims and their families. Accidents happen and that doesn’t make it okay, but the cynic in me is…

This has to be a humiliation fetish

Well, you certainly have your boot-fellating abilities on full display, don’t you?

Post up bro.

Nobody cares about you lickin’ Elon’ huevos, chief. 

When asked about “tackling the nation’s debt,” he mentioned changing the tax code, and then went on to say there would be some financial difficulty imposed on some Americans. “Most importantly, we have to reduce spending to live within our means,” he said, adding that these efforts will “involve some temporary…
