On Saturday the US Army released the name of the pilot of the US Army Blackhawk helicopter that flew into a passenger jet landing at Reagan National Airport.
The crash was on Wednesday. The third pilot’s name, Rebecca Lobach, was finally released on Saturday, three days later.
All 64 passengers in the jet were killed. The three pilots in the Blackhawk helicopter also died in the explosive crash.
Kristinn Taylor at The Gateway Pundit reported:
After withholding at the request of the family the name of the female pilot killed in the mid-air collision Wednesday night between an Army Black Hawk helicopter and a PSA/American Airlines passenger plane on final approach to Reagan National Airport near Washington, D.C., the Army issued a statement Saturday afternoon from her family identifying the pilot as 28-year-old Capt. Rebecca Lobach from Durham, N.C.
The other two soldiers killed in the crash previously identified by the Army are Staff Sgt. Ryan Austin O’Hara, 28, of Lilburn, Georgia, and Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves, 39, of Great Mills, Maryland.
Lobach was part of a three-man crew flying a training mission for “continuity of government” down the Potomac River when the collision occurred, killing all three crew members on the Black Hawk based at nearby Fort Belvoir, Virginia, and all 60 passengers and four crew members on the flight out of Wichita, Kansas.
Lobach, who had over 450 hours of flying experience, recently served as a military social aide at the Biden White House.
It took the US Army and Rebecca’s family three days to scrub her social media accounts. They really don’t want the public to know anything about this female pilot.
Rebecca worked in the Biden White House.

What are they hiding from the American public?
They even scrubbed her family members’ accounts.
Having served a rotation as a mortuary affairs officer, certain things were scrubbed. For example, we made sure pornographic materials (video and magazines - I don’t know how they handle personal computers nowadays) were not sent back to the family with the deceased’s personal effects.
lol
Jesus, dude. Get a grip.
I find this to be a likely explanation, in part because of the severe nature of the antagonism between Trump supporters and anti-Trump types.
Excellent point—the FAA has proven to my satisfaction they have no effective control over our air space—whatever it is that is flying overhead these days.
What an interesting notion. I think you may be right. The level of anger among liberals is very high now. It's blind rage. That might explain why they scrubbed her social media.
They must have voice recordings right now of what went on in the helicopter.
That was unnecessary. I’m initially going to be nice. Let’s agree to disagree.
Jesus, dude. Get a grip.
I've been working in the Navy helicopter community for over 20 years.
I can assure you that nobody in the cockpit is talking about politics during a night vision currency training flight.
Am I mistaken in thinking I’ve seen a high point in anti-Trump rage amongst the democrats?
I still assume when someone says “partner”, it is code for gay.
I would have to agree on that one.
something off about that pic. Both looked like they were pasted in. At least one them is backwards.
Your comment reminded me that when one of my grandfathers died (natural causes) many decades ago we found pornography in his effects.
It was embarrassing for the adults in the family—as a teenage boy at the time I thought it was hilarious.
You’re right about that. And I would not be at all surprised to find out that it was a deliberate act.
There are and they will contain routine checklist procedures followed by an instant and catastrophic crash that nobody saw coming.
Quit beclowing yourself.
Maybe twenty years ago they weren’t. But look at the communist level of chaotic thinking we now have in our country.
Back in 2004 when I took a certification course one of the women in my class was named Iraina (I forget the spelling) and she was of Polish nationality.
Well there were hints elsewhere that it was a trans so suck it up.
I agree Trump knew. If the government agencies didn’t give the information to him, then Musk certainly would. It was a boon to us when those two hooked up.
This seems more about helping corrupt bigwigs escape from the clutches of an irate citizenry in the event of a sudden housecleaning.
