Script?
Maybe all passenger plane flights now would benefit from a blessing by clergy along with instructions on the masks and other items.
I was told once the Cape Cod fishing boat crews were given a ceremony at the start of the season. Storms and accidents still happen in the Atlantic. Not sure if they still do that blessing ceremony anywhere.
Wikipedia excerpt.
The “Blessing of the Fleet” is a centuries-old tradition, often involving a clergyman blessing vessels like ships, fishing boats, or even recreational boats, to safeguard their crews and ensure a successful and safe journey or season. A way of publicly acknowledging a higher power and seeking blessings for those who work at sea.
My advice: fly into Dulles or BWI!
It is not just in Washington DC. There is an absolute disregard for safety and proper operation in army aviation. I don’t know if it is a DEI problem, a lack of training, or just an attitude that they are the government amd the rules do not apply to them. What ever it is the army, the FAA, and the civil leadership just do not care and do not want to hear about it. I sincerely hope they don’t kill me some day on takeoff.
All those expert Vietnam helo pilots have retired now. I met one at the car wash recently. He loaned me his stool so I could clean the roof of my F150. Great guy, would love to hear all his stories.
Didn’t the FAA ban non essential helicopters at Reagan just 6 weeks ago ??
Sorry to have to ask it...but another female pilot?
Pretty good chance that was the pilot’s last flight.
Fire the CO, XO and whoever else you have to eliminate in order to assemble a staff that understands the sacred principle of air corridors, especially next commercial airports.
Why the hell is the Army flying helicopters, and even training inexperienced pilots, near a major airport in a big city? There are plenty of wide-open spaces in Virginia or nearby West Virginia and Maryland where they can do that.
Immediately ground all Army chopper flights near Reagan
No, your thread's title isn't any more deserving of attention that anybody else's. Mind your manners.
