STATEMENT FROM THE FAMILY of Capt Rebecca Lobach, the Army Blackhawk co-pilot: “We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Rebecca. She was a bright star in all our lives. She was kind, generous, brilliant, funny, ambitious and strong. No one dreamed bigger or worked harder to achieve her goals. Rebecca began her career in the United States Army as a distinguished military graduate in ROTC at the University of North Carolina, and was in the top 20% of cadets nationwide. She achieved the rank of Captain, having twice served as a Platoon Leader and as a Company Executive Officer in the 12th Aviation Battalion, Davison Army Airfield, Fort Belvoir, Virginia. With more than 450 hours of flight time, she earned certification as a pilot-in-command after extensive testing by the most senior and experienced pilots in her battalion. Rebecca was a warrior and would not hesitate to defend her country in battle. But she was as graceful as she was fierce: in addition to her duties as an Army aviator, Rebecca was honored to serve as a White House Military Social Aide, volunteering to support the President and First Lady in hosting countless White House events, including ceremonies awarding the Medal of Honor and the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Rebecca cared about people, and she extended to individuals the same fearless defense she gave to this nation. She was proud of the difference she made as a certified Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention (SHARP) Victim Advocate and hoped to continue her education so she could serve this country as a physician when her time with the Army ended. She once said, "My experiences with SHARP have reinforced my resolve to serve others with compassion, understanding, and the resources necessary for healing." Rebecca was many things. She was a daughter, sister, partner, and friend. She was a servant, a caregiver, an advocate. Most of all, she loved and was loved. Her life was short, but she made a difference in the lives of all who knew her. Our hearts break for the other families who have lost loved ones in this national tragedy and we mourn with them. We request that you please respect our privacy as we grieve this devastating loss.”

Looks like this was the FB account- and as we know, it's entirely possible the last few years have been swept up before the announcement:

Maybe you should have focused on flying helicopters instead of things that have no relation to flying helicopters.

The White House Military Social Aides have played an important role in many different White House events and functions. They have assisted the president with diplomatic protocol at state events, at annual meetings with the leaders of Congress and the federal judiciary, and at other significant social events. Military Social Aides play the role of assistant hosts at the White House, ensuring that these events are conducted efficiently and with dignity, as behooves the President of the United States. These oral history videos from members of The Society of White House Military Aides detail the important work of this position in the Executive Mansion.

That’s insincere, as if people can’t have hobbies or goals beyond one thing. It wasn’t her aide work that caused her to crash, it was her biological inferiority to males. ♥️

So I guess the question now is, if you had to take a moderately risky helicopter flight and you had to pick one as pilot, would you pick a lady or a troon?

There was one lady both known for handling risky flights and helicopter work.

But most women - and most pilots - aren't Hanna.

"I am hoping that people can look past the political aspect of the whole situation and look past her race and her gender," Bell said. "I hope that she's remembered more for the impact that she had on other people's lives."

Oh, she had an impact on other people's lives, for sure!

This is a cross post from the Jesse singal derangement thread.

A researcher on the blocked and reported podcast did an article about the FAA hiring scandal last year.


He's literally a leftie furry but the absolute insanity of it all, and the fact that media wasn't covering was too much for him. Currently he's arguing with some leftie podcast host on twitter.

The article is worth a read everything is sourced, and it's fairly damming.

What the FAA was doing with black pilots and their union should have been a massive fucking scandal and it's absurd that nothing was ever done about it. Everyone even remotely involved with it should have been fired and blocklist from aviation forever.

Aside from being a furry faggot, the BaRpod furry was dead on that the right doesn't have the same investigative journalism infrastructure that the woke types do. No one but him reported on this.

Who do we have? Like Andy Ngo and Project Veritas. That's it.

And they do great work. But still, it's a tenth of what the woke types have.

Investigative work doesn’t pay off much over selling people beliefs they already agree with. For instance James O’Keefe does lots of undercover shit but ultimately no one listens unless their favorite talking head boosts the signal. Even then the whole work isn’t even given much attention over the broad message of ‘left corrupt’ and ‘get this fucker fired’.

Mom here was actually fairly well known in NC for being a homeschooling athletics advocate. Don’t remember much else about her; Rebecca was supposedly a talented basketball player.

The right could've at least publicized the shit out of the FAA ATC hiring scandal. Like that would've scared the shit out of normies.

So this was in fact the result of dei, just not from the position we thought? And either someone with connections and or a "woman" going by the choice to hide the name/identity. I don't think even a female dei would be enough to prompt such a defensive response. Would they?

They have to know what this is going to look like. How are they going to justify this? I don't think i've ever heard a "family doesn't want important information made public" excuse. This isn't the victim of a crime or something.

Edit: so they finally release it.


Any more details on the second crash?
