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.
Sooner or later.
“Her grieving family owes you nothing.”
Maybe - maybe not. 60+ people were killed by someone’s act - maybe intentional and maybe unintentional, but to dismiss it out of hand wreaks of leftist news slant and invites speculation.
What if Lobach had TDS and the other pilot was a Trump supporter?
Thanks for your post.
As I said earlier, with Trump and Hegseth in charge, everything the public needs to know will be made known.
But right now? Let these people bury their dead, for God’s sake.
And the ADSB data isn't correct either...
“the Army should not have training routes that go through a commercial airport’s takeoff and landing paths.”
That should be the first outcome of this event.
oh yes, exactly. The internet is a powerful tool for finding and collecting information but it can also be used to manipulate things and obfuscate
I suspect we'll find out more soon. Perhaps she was a good friend of Jill Biden? People will talk. Others have taken pictures, etc.
Good point. How long do we have to put up with this BS now that Trump is in charge?
For young people that is no longer true. In the less than 30 year old set the term is often applied to whoever is their significant other.
Unless you just successfully completed your check ride….
I notice it more with Democrats. Even if they are lawfully wedded as "husband" and "wife".
They refer to their significant ones as my "partner".
Seems like the Left is intentionally changing the English language to become a gender-neutral language.
Actress = actor.
Latina/Latino = Latinx (Hispanics were angry about this, one of several reasons why many of them ended up voting for Trump)
If that's the case wouldn't Trump be pissed "they" are hiding this by scrubbing it after the fact? Shouldn't he be calling out whoever scrubbed this?
Maybe the family destroyed the electronic record because Lobach’s girlfriend recently broke up with her.
Lesbians have a higher rate of suicide.
the lawyers must already be hard at work… many family members of those killed, as the NTSB official said in his presser yesterday, are very angry.
imagine being a loved one watching that second video of the helo, clearly showing it flying directly into the plane without any attempt to change course.
I suspect that more than a few families are not in a forgiving mood and we’ll soon hear a lot more about what transpired up there.
Where was that sourced from if her info has all been scrubbed?
“What Are They Hiding?”
The truth, always the truth.
Why does she look like she is role playing and not really qualified other than maybe a simulation or video game.
None of this is Trumps fault. Trump never even mentioned a female did anything or was to blame.
Others assumed that is what he meant. Rabid nevertrumpers always try the blame Trump thing first just like democrats do.
i would say the investigators would have the right to see it
i think it would be considered evidence
