The Black Hawk helicopter pilot involved in the deadly plane crash in DC on Wednesday, who the Army initially refused to name, has now been identified as 28-year-old Captain Rebecca Lobach.






From Daily Mail, "Captain Rebecca Lobach is identified as third Black Hawk pilot who died in collision with American Airlines flight in DC":
The U.S. Army has identified the third pilot of the H-60 Black Hawk Helicopter that collided with an American Airline CRJ-700 passenger jet on Wednesday as it was on approach to land at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, killing 67 people.

Captain Rebecca M. Lobach, 28, from Durham, North Carolina was one of three soldiers aboard the chopper that crashed into the jet just as it was coming into land.

The Army had initially refused to identify Lobach at the request of her family but the decision to release her name came 'at the request of and in coordination with the family,' according to a statement released by the Army.

'We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Rebecca. She was a bright star in all our lives,' her family said. 'Rebecca was a warrior and would not hesitate to defend her country in battle.'

Lobach had worked as a White House aide during the Biden administration and had served as an aviation officer in the Army from July 2019 until January 2025.

Her family went on to describe her as 'kind, generous, brilliant, funny, ambitious and strong.'
As a reminder, President Trump rushed to blame DEI for this tragedy and was widely smeared for it by the media.

"I'm trying to figure out how you can come to the conclusion right now that diversity had something to do with this crash," a reporter asked him on Thursday.

"Because I have common sense, ok?" Trump responded.

The crash marked the deadliest US aviation disaster in over two decades, with a total of 67 people killed.
