BREAKING: Army has now identified the female pilot of the Black Hawk helicopter that collided with American Airlines flight as Captain Rebecca M. Lobach from Durham, North Carolina.
Fun story: It’s 2003-ish. I’m lead of a flight of 2 T-37s & we’re crossing the Sandia Mountains from the East to emerge in Albuquerque; I plan to fly over my parent’s house. No students, just another instructor & I, solo, mid-afternoon. ATC tells us there is some glider activity in the area, but they aren’t talking to them. I “kick” my wingman out to the route position by wagging the tail using the rudders, radio silent. He had been in “fingertip” on the right side, which is very close & looks way cooler, but that means he can only look at me (or risk hitting me if he looks away for more than a second) & that’s not helpful when I need more eyes looking for traffic. I’m hoping we can spot them & reform before we cross over the top of the mountain, near the tram, as low as I can legally get to it…that should look pretty sweet. Anyway, off he goes, spreading out abeam me, maybe slightly behind. Now he’s got time to scan for traffic while staying at least in sight of me; we’re maybe 2,000’ apart, looking for gliders, doing around 270 knots. I spotted them, finally. Two gleaming white gliders, following each other, split my formation about down the middle, maybe 50’ below us. I didn’t even bother to react…there was nothing I could have done. They flashed by & were gone. Other than students first learning how to do a turning rejoin in formation, it’s the closest I’ve ever come to a mid-air collision. I wonder if the glider folks think about us sometimes, too. Anyway, I rocked my wings to signal a rejoin. We didn’t quite get reformed in time for the top of the tram, but it looked good enough. Did some pulls around their house (no aerobatics allowed outside the military airspace), but it was fun. We shut down at the FBO on the airport (avoid going to the military side if you can, much more hassle). “Dude, did you see that?!! We almost hit those gliders!” He had not, in fact, seen them. About a year & a half later, a Sheppard T-37 had a mid-air with a yellow Air Tractor. They were being controlled by ATC at the time; when they looked up after an instrument check, they saw a yellow flash before the jet became uncontrollable. They ejected & survived, but the other guy was not so lucky. aero-news.net/index.cfm?do=m…
01-29-25 This happened over Alaska. The following day a Boeing plunged mid-Flight injuring 40+ people. The day after Flight 5432 got hit by a Blackhawk Helicopter. Now a ‘Plane’ nose-dived at speed into residential Philadelphia. Surely you must be a little suspicious by now?
