Initial thoughts:
Mission was training, “continuity of government”. We will see very little info about the mission (Classified).
Reading other news releases, it appears that Robach MAY HAVE BEEN the ‘training standing-in’ for the VIP principal for this flight. With little ‘recent’ time behind the stick (she was a social aide), it is likely she was not Pilot in Charge. Personally, I don’t think she was flying the Blackhawk.

Flight track appears to have made a “stop” after leaving base. Was that to pick up the faux-principal?

No doubt. No info about 4th occupant. Lots of missions like these have 'stops' to account for timing but never pick up anyone.

From the posted link, it appears she was a PR officer/pilot.

Come on Hegseth, where is your report on what the chopper was doing and who was the pilot?

She wasn’t logging hours for the past two years in the White House press office.
She was working in the White House as recently as Jan 4th. Likely left right as Trump was sworn in, so she was getting spun up again and getting current and trained.

I’m sure she left Rucker reasonably qualified by today’s standards. But her long absence from the cockpit perished her skills into substandard. They were training her back up. Her lesbo, woke, well-connected and female status didn’t count for anything at night over the Potomac when she killed an airliner full of people.

I don’t know why the family would think that working for Bidon would be considered an asset.

There were some very dedicated and socially connected hardcore leftists in Chapel Hill, at least 30 years ago.
