Fire them.

[Persevero]

Heck charge them with assault.

What a hideous thing to do. Unspeakable.

[Steely Tom]

Looks like a nice pile of disaster aid you’ve accumulated there. Be a shame if something happened to it.

[Robert A Cook PE]

I first heard it was a twin-rotor cargo Chinook - not a single rotor, much smaller Blackhawk.

After the items were blown away, “The crew immediately identified the situation, aborted the landing for safety reasons, and departed the area.”

Baloney. That entire situation was unsafe and unprofessional. At best. I wouldn't be surprised if deliberate malice was involved.

[pfflier]

Fire them.

Ready, Fire, Aim. There has to be so much more to this story.

[quilterdebbie]

That was ridiculous! What did they think they were doing?

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Army Blackhawks....

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

One doesn't fly these mission without orders.

Bull S^^T!

They turned their transponder off too.

What’s so bad is that there were two separate incidences of a helicopter power wash. Both hit private rescue groups and their supplies.

That’s a pretty big coincidence.

[Midwesterner53]

So the National Guard and Army are getting the DEI pilots they are seeking?

As I noted the other day:

“Richard” move by the pilot.

If there was anyone actually leading the rescue/supply/recovery effort, frequency lists would have been distributed and the pilot would have been able to communicate with those on the ground.

Likely military (doubtful about the masks), probably NCNG, and obviously not a mechanical emergency.

Glad to hear it got back to their CO.

[SuperLuminal]

DEI???

[servo1969]

I'm a terrible person so it's legal for me to come right out and ask.
Was it a female pilot?

I know, I know. That's awful, right?




So... was it?

[PAR35]

I’ll defend them. They were interfering with relief aid as their masters in the Obama - Clinton - Harris cabal desired.

[Vaduz]

Story sound like a few lawyers were hanging around helicopter pilots aren’t stupid.

[Jane Long]

No kidding ... FIRE their @sses, indeed.

Right, “conspiracy theorists”?

I think we conspiracy theorists are up about 50++ 0

[Darksheare]

There was a reason why during my national guard service in artillery we would point every weapon we had at every Blackhawk we saw.
