It is clear the family thought she and her background might take focus from her death and they wanted to clean it up. Fairly or unfairly worries on both sides.
Overall, Trump blames DEI for contributing to the accident. By this he means leftist social engineering at large. In and over the FAA and Controllers. In the military at large and possibly in specifics The WO had a thousand hours and was the Pilot-in-Command doing a check flight training for night evac of government officials. Likewise, the politicians, the FAA, civilian safety self-chosen experts, pilots and the military have complained of the proximity of Reagan airport to congestion. Nevertheless, the military has kept flight paths for military training in place in a turf war stance.
My first aircraft trips were with my 18 year old girl friend as the pilot 55 years ago. I know many fine women pilots.
We will find out that night vision limitations, switched runway, training route, not having a fourth spotter, altitude control, FAA staffing at that hour and in general and many factors played a part. Trump exempted the FAA from his hiring freeze executive order. Trump has focused on the military returning to its core mission and getting out of social engineering. I have young women family members in the US Army. Thank God for Trump at this hour in our history. Like Churchill after Dunkirk — like him or not, is our salvation.
Good to see your posts as always.
One key thing. It was going to come out. All they did was raise suspicion. They released two members but held one back.
If you are going to do this, you say “One member’s name has been held back until all of the family can be reached”.
Add to the list, don’t allow any aircraft to cut across a glide path.
