So unnecessary.
This sounds highly unusual to me:
“Lobach had worked as a White House aide during the Biden administration”
In what capacity? Is this normal?
Worked in the WH under Biden for starters.
good they got the identification issue resolved
but will this reprieve result in further obfuscation?
‘Highly experienced crew’ flying higher than their allowed 2,000 ft max altitude.
450 hours in six years does not sound like “highly experienced” to me, especially when she spent some of that time working as a White House aide in the Biden administration. I wonder how many hours she had piloting a helicopter in the last year.
My question is whether air traffic control had the authority to simply order the military chopper to ‘stop’ or ‘reverse course’ rather than direct it to ‘look out’ or ‘be careful’.
Was she lifted by the Biden (Jill?) Administration beyond the level of her competence?
That would—like Kimberly Cheatle—be another DEI exemplar.
2019 to Jan. 2025. Was she flying during this time or was she a WH aide?
Gang there’s a lot at work here. The trainee was flying with less time getting proficiency flying time than maybe she should probably because of DEI practices. I spent a considerable amount of time training men to handle watch stations on a US submarine. It was always you go to the bottom we all go, so as a trainer my job was to instruct the trainee but be close enough to intercede to prevent a catastrophic mistake sinking us all. If and it’s a big if, she veered of the flight route and was too high in altitude it was the trainer who screwed this up. What caused the circumstances heads right to policy and who set that policy. If this event is tracked to root cause as was the Challenger explosion, it’ll go back the Obama starting this crap and Biden amplifying it. EOS
Sounds like she was a hardcore Dem.
So the bottom line is…….who was piloting the Blackhawk?
3 pilots and none saw the airplane?
Lesbo with all kinds of photos at pride marches, worked at the White House as a backdrop soldier escorting VIPs around, special training as a member of the army sexual assault and sexual harassment response and prevention team.
Sounds like she has been involved in everything except flying.
Less than a month ago she was still working that white house gig. They were training her and trying to get her current and mission qualified again.
Bottom line, she was substandard and an example of the rot Hegseth has to deal with.
BTTT!!!
The fact of the matter is that DEI caused her own death and the death of dozens of innocent people. She should have been nowhere near those flight controls.
