I was asked why I hadn’t posted any stories on the DC plane crash. I replied that there weren’t yet enough facts, but I bowed to pressure from my readers and went ahead and posted a couple of stories.
It turns out that there are still more stories coming out about the pilot who was the apparent cause of the crash. Let me post a collage picture that shows you what I mean.
What do you know- a DEI hire because she hit the checkboxes for the Biden Administration- a lesbian LGTBQ activist.
This statement from her family reinforces that position:
Her sexuality wasn’t a factor in the crash, but her lack of experience was, and she was in the Whitehouse because of that sexuality. Once an Army officer is favored by the President, they tend to be promoted to and given opportunities that they are otherwise unqualified for. That certainly WAS a factor in the crash.
Sure enough, there are people who read this blog that are jumping to defend her because they don’t like to see me call out the military. One commenter said “It is enough time to know what you are doing, and he was an evaluator, which means his command thought he was experienced.”
So the commander of the helicopter squadron that has been responsible for transporting Democrat bigwigs all over the DC area would never bow to DEI pressure from the Whitehouse, I am sure. After all, we know that President Poopy Pants was in full command of his faculties, and there was absolutely no shenanigans from the lefties who were really running the show.

The elephant in the room is the 1,000 hour check pilot, with flight controls and radio sitting next to her looking out the window. I’m not saying accidents don’t happen, but a Crusty Warrant officer pilot that was chosen as a check pilot is not going to let that king of thing happen. Lighting, angles, altitudes (military aircraft also have radar altimeters), etc.,…….something is not adding up from the helo side of things.

450 hours in a RW isn’t squat. Imagine a newly minted 16 year-old with a drivers license. That’s the reference point. I wouldn’t get in a helicopter with a pilot who only had those hours. As you pointed out, her hours consisted solely of training and concurrency. There’s no evidence she ever flew mission profiles. In the NE corridor there is a well known aviation company, flies RW exclusively in an environment every bit as challenging and dangerous as the DC area. Their minimum flight hours to be considered for a co-pilot position are 1000, but they rarely consider under 1500, partly because of competition for the jobs. Its important to note the group of pilots with the highest rejection rate for hire are ex-BH pilots with no civilian time in any other flying environment. They can’t handle the demands of the aircraft or the very exacting flying required. And if there’s any doubt who was at the controls of the BH, it was her. Who was making the radio calls? Male voice. That means she was flying.
