That's my thinking too.
I suspect that if one digs to most of these accident stories, they trace to one source. Or, some very limited number, getting info from "official" sources that prefer to remain anonymous.
Something is playing out in front of our eyes.
Think Operation Mockingbird.
....well, kids flying these aircraft these days experienced “no score” kickball, “no grades” in elementary school, jr high and high school, no more SAT scores, and affirmative action, zero accountability for breaking rules, DEI, ESG, CRT, shoplifting is ok..... and NOW their just too DUMB to even begin to fly these highly sophisticated aircraft.
The foregoing, in my opinion, is just about where we are now although I probably left a few items out.
It is a typical safety stand down. Nothing unusual when there is a cluster of accidents. Happens in the USAF and Navy too.
Indeed.
AA pilots and tranny brass.
Is this the U.S. military that is expected to defeat the Russian military AND the Chinese military?
“Hey Captain, what are all these gauges and controls for? I never even learned to drive a stick shift. Flying this helicopter is kinda complicated. A lot of this was not even covered in the 30-minute helicopter training video I watched.”
Maybe if they did not fly so close to one another.
Stress brought on by decades of Russian cultural civil war agitprop, promulgated by leftists (”liberals” of the Democrat and other left-wing parties), resulting in socialist factions going to war against each other.
A primary weapon of that multi-faceted socialist intercine civil war, is enforcement of political “thought,” that disables focus and disarms ability.
internecine
The navy ships were crashing into things during a republican prez. Of course he locked us down and paid big pharma billions. That’s a pretty progressive presidency.
The article says these are apaches. They go down more frequently. The blackhawks inTN were guardsmen.
How about training them BEFORE you let them fly?? Maybe train them in flying instead of DEI BS.
I think it is simply lowered standards.
There is no information on the crash. 2 pilots survived the crash, one died later on the way to the hospital. This suggests to me, the helicopters were doing a landing exercise. If it was a midair crash, I doubt anyone would have survived.
This will go down the memory hole fairly quick. I doubt the Army would release any details of the accident to the public anyway. If the injured pilot survives, the Army may have a good idea of what happened.
