HellToupee 1,583 Posted February 1 sad story now has all 3 names Rebecca M. Lobach “I’m heartbroken to share that my friend Capt. Rebecca Lobach died in Wednesday evening’s crash near DC’s National Airport. Rebecca was brilliant and fearless, a talented pilot and a PT stud. We trained and commissioned together from @UNCArmyROTC, and we had a lot of fun along the way, too. We were both latecomers to the ROTC program, enrolling partway through the third year, and quickly bonded over being the new kids on the block. Rebecca and I were in a training platoon together by coincidence during summer basic camp at Fort Knox in 2018. On “branch day,” when the cadets got to explore the different Army officer career paths, she and I were walking together through a field where a bunch of helicopters were parked. She was a few feet in front of me when she stopped, turned, and pointed out an MH-6 Little Bird (an incredibly small helicopter!). She shot me a mischievous smile and said something like, “Think we can both fit?” My dear readers: I am 6’6”, and Rebecca (a former college basketball player) is at least 5’8”. But I’ll be damned if we didn’t somehow stuff ourselves into that cockpit. My neck hurt, and I don’t think we would’ve been able to fly it very well, but we were both beaming in the selfie she took. Our Linda’s Downbar trivia team — Two Man, Two Woman Wolfpack — was rarely victorious but was never defeated. “Not Last!” was our team motto. We sucked at the music round because all four of us had identical taste. Rebecca played a crucial role in helping me navigate the hardest periods of my personal life. Our friend group sustained me and kept me engaged when every fiber of my being wanted to just go numb to this world. I owe her so much. We stayed in touch after she commissioned as an active duty Black Hawk pilot, and I as an HR officer in the NC Army National Guard. After I went into journalism, she would call me when I wrote a funny or interesting story. I wish we’d taken a photo together when we had lunch a year ago. I wish I’d remembered to invite her to a party I hosted a week ago. I wish she weren’t dead. You are so missed, Rebecca. This world won’t be the same without you.” https://x.com/davis_winkie/status/1885813060088348815?s=46&t=6lIrLFMCF1K0N7A7JwF7fg “Army releases name of co-pilot of Blackhawk helicopter: Captain Rebecca Lobach, a star ROTC student who graduated from UNC with top honors and wanted to attend medical school after her Army service. She had 500 hours of flying time, about 250 flights, considered on the high end for a Captain, according to Army officials.” Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
League Champion 1,896 Posted February 1 Lockheed Martin's Sikorsky division has developed autonomous Black Hawk helicopters that can perform missions without human pilots. These helicopters use the ALIAS (Aircrew Labor In-cockpit Automation System) project's MATRIX technology. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know if that sheds any light on who was controlling the helo in the moment. The piloting controls are meant to be shared if needs be. If it was a more experienced pilot flying, I could see some deference/false sense of safety at play. With a less experienced pilot, the other aviators are going to be more on guard. But then again, their training probably hammers that everyone be vigilant like their lives depend on it, at all times. It's going to take time to understand the breakdown.

It's going to take time to understand the breakdown. I'd not heard the radio messages from ATC to the Army helicopter, just their conversations with the jet. I do know the jet is 0.00000% responsible for this. They were doing everything right and are off the hook completely. All the blame is going to be divvied up between ATC, the helicopter, and whoever designed/authorized those flight patterns and schedules. The early reports are that she was the one flying the helicopter, and if so, she's going to be the one who bears the bulk of the blame. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could've happened to anyone. Mistakes happen, sometimes with tragic results. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most people would assume this. Only hateful people like yourself would assume that a gay person is inherently less qualified than a heterosexual person.
