May they rest in peace.

God be with the wives and children of Ryan and Andrew.

Still waiting for the third soldier aboard the Black Hawk to be identified.

From Newsweek:

In a briefing with reporters on Thursday, Jonathan Koziol, chief of staff for Army aviation, said that the pilot commanding the flight was female with more than 500 hours of flight time. The male instructor pilot had over 1,000 hours of flight time, and the crew chief also had hundreds of hours of flight time.

"[T]he pilot commanding the flight was female."

The identities of the males on the Black Hawk have been released, but not the female pilot commanding the flight.

From the New York Times:

The Army on Friday released the names of two male aviators who were killed when their Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines regional jet on Wednesday night. But in an extraordinary step, the Army did not identify the third crew member, a female pilot, citing her family’s request for privacy.

The names of service members killed during a peacetime accident or in combat zones are typically made public about 24 hours after their relatives have been notified.

“At the request of the family, the name of the third soldier will not be released at this time. That pilot is also DUSTWUN,” the Army said in a statement in a reference to “duty status-whereabouts unknown,” a temporary designation until her remains are recovered from the river where the aircraft went down.

It appears the Blackhawk flew right into the American Airlines plane. It doesn't appear there was any effort to avoid colliding.

This is extremely disturbing.

New details:

Flight 5342 was initially supposed to land at Reagan National's main runway but was then asked by air traffic controllers to change to an alternative runway.https://t.co/UVG5Jw28Ty

Inexcusable.

President Trump and his administration will end this insanity.
