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.
You don’t know that, either. As suggested in the post I replied to, her parents may just want more privacy for their daughter, knowing how the internet (including Free Republic) acts. In today’s creepy internet world, it’s just as plausible an explanation as all the explanations being given of why the crash itself occured.
Just look at how many times internet sleuths get things wrong, especially after shootings. There’s always a name or two (with pictures and “history”) being bandied around the interwebz, including Free Republic, that end up having nothing to do with the shooting. Yet, every single time, it happens again and again. Every. Single. Time.
Why are there oddly placed posts seeming to create false narratives for what happened?
Was Lobach a suicide bomber?
How do they know she had social media accounts?
If so, which?
Does EVERYONE have social media accounts?
Surely you do know about the lawsuit against FAA by qualified applicants denied as a result of DEI policies?
Although Helicopter crew is most culpable, there was a shortage of ATC personnel at the time.
Trump had all the information on the helicopter crew members less than 1 hour after this event because it appeared to be a flat out suicide mission.
Trump knew everything about those crew members going back to grammar School he knew all about their social media, criminal histories if any etc. He knew everything and why he was so angry during the initial news conference. Trump knew!

Never deployed. Gravy jobs come to her.
One way Hegseth can improve service morale is to outlaw scrubbing social media accounts; i.e., If you say it, it’s forever. This will moderate individual behavior such that fewer disputes, insults, and hyperbole will drag people into counterproductive discussions.
Who, or what, does the “scrubbing?”
That’s speculation by you. Lots of speculation.
DEI created the environment where unqualified people could get put into critical positions.
President Trump and most have us have noticed.
What is “sick” is being in denial about the world we live in—and then doubling down by accusing others of being “sick” for noticing reality.
If this pilot earned her position based on real qualifications (and not a resume stacked with DEI generated credential on top of DEI generated credential) then that is fine.
Let me be very specific to make sure you understand.
A DEI generated credential is one earned by lowering the standards so that person could get that credential—whether academic or job related.
It is totally reasonable that we scrutinize every piece of every credential these days to see if any corners were cut or standards were lowered.
The family of the deceased can request the FB admin to do it...........
I don’t think it was the military member who scrubbed her accounts...
“Sorry but that copter went straight into the plane.”
FWIW a friend had a conversation with a retired SS agent a couple of days ago and the retired agent said it was not an accident.

Only appreared that way. Multiple Blackhawk pilots said the video is misleading
I have powers of deduction and I’m not afraid to use them. Time to reboot fury.
I suspect if we dig into the UK, they’ve made accomodations with lots of things.
I suspect some would call rape over there a cultural misunderstanding..
Unless you count FR as social media, I don't.
