According to the WSJ Capt. Lobach's last position was "in the Biden White House as a social aide, as well as a certified sexual harassment and assault response advocate." And I think the "little bird" who said "she" was an "O-3" a couple days ago was vindicated.

The flight path did look erratic. I gather rotorcraft are supposed to stay over the river below 250' Hmm, maybe the solution is to replace the UH-60s with MV-22s, spend more printed money!

Yes, I made a general assumption. My thinking process was that if they were being paid to do these presentations they were not currently employed by a government. Generally to become a putative expert in these fields you would have needed to have worked for a government. I must concede, the...

My understanding had been that warrant officers were created by the English Royal Navy in the 13th century. As to flying, I think you could argue that during World War II, pilots in the US Army Air Forces who held the rank equivalent to a warrant officer were called "Flight Officers," meaning...

Let me preface by noting that I was subjected to a behavioral analysis in a foreign country last year and I would aver that it is likely more efficient than present alternatives. It was not burdensome on me and I have no hard feelings toward the airport security that questioned me. That having...

I find it interesting that the Army is refusing to disclose who the pilot in command was. I assume the third person was the PIC as they noted a captain, a chief warrant officer and a sergeant. Though maybe they meant captain generically as opposed to O-3...

Really, how are you defining a politician?

You expect the junior under secretary of education to travel by armored car like some state senator? Also, they don't work.

Would my inclination to believe governments generally manipulate data represent a NFB?

Granted I lived there a long time ago, so perhaps things have changed. But all I said is I would be surprised. At the very least this was not a typical UH-60 flight operated by the Army.

I used to live in DC. Lot's of other agencies use that callsign too.

So if you find something with drug residue you concoct a theory that the person was trafficking narcotics to fund jihad. Of course that is not even necessary now, the United States is now calling drug cartels terrorist organizations. So this begs the question, what is a terrorist now anyways...

I would be very surprised if that helicopter was actually being operated by the US Army. Though this just goes to show that governments are now a serious danger to civil aircraft.

Well, maybe you need a better STOL aircraft?

So were you able to get the Aerobat down in 150' of runway?

But how will the government protect us from government missiles.

Does seem like a bad place to choose a gear up landing. Wonder if this could be blamed on a culture which readily defers to authority?

I was wondering about this recently, but question if it is actually far worse if suspected missile strikes like MH370 are added. Missiles Are Now the Biggest Killer of Airline Passengers
