  1. Don't throw @USNALonghorn under the bus like that. He recovered and has done well for himself.
  2. I am sure I flew one of those in the background
  3. Reported 2 pilots, 2 medical personnel, and 1 patient
  4. The only video I have seen of the actual crash is on Fox News. WTXF That is it. Thanks.
  5. There is an insane video of the plane falling out of the sky. Multiple fires.
  6. The FAA does recruit military controllers. The FAA runs a training academy in Oklahoma City.
  7. Agree. Back in my Navy flying days a Navy Tower controller tried to kill me. Turn over was occurring in the Tower and they lost SA. Luckily I hadn’t lost SA.
  8. The controller should have probably said “hey do you have that traffic at your 10 o’clock high on sight”
  9. This. There is a new plan in place to train more controllers via the FAA enhanced CTI program where schools like ERAU and Oklahoma will train new controllers. They all employ retired or former FAA controllers to teach this program and they use a multitude of training and simulation software.
  10. What people seem to be missing is that the training appears to be keeping current at night and flying the routes that their VIP transport missions require. It wasn’t like hey let’s just go fly by DCA for fun.
  11. It would take some amazing timing for that to occur. It wasn’t like the Helo was orbiting in the area working to time an intercept. I didn’t look at details but it appears the Helo was keeping the same forward speed on the flight tracking apps. ATC could try and do that. Military weapons systems have software to help controllers guide pilots to intercept other aircraft. The FAA doesn’t.
  12. His press conference this morning is a text book example of a shitty leadership.
  13. There was a lot of vision. LOL. So fucking embarrassing.
  14. Well Trump just said DEI is the issue. Amazing.
  15. I don’t know why I am surprised based on the current dumb ass world we live in but I still can’t get over how many people think this was an intentional act by the Helo crew.
  16. I am going to think you are an absolute fucking idiot who is a waste of oxygen.
  17. From one picture I saw it looks like the right wind was ripped off during the collision
  18. I wonder if the Helo crew thought Tower was talking about the plane taking off?
