washington, d.c. - The name of the mysterious Black Hawk helicopter pilot involved in the tragic crash above Washington, D.C., has been revealed as 28-year-old Rebecca Lobach.

Rebecca Lobach Identified as Black Hawk Helicopter Pilot

After initial secrecy surrounding her identity, Rebecca Lobach, the pilot of the military helicopter involved in the fatal collision with an American Airlines passenger plane, has been identified. The U.S. Army initially withheld her name, sparking wild speculations in America. Lobach, who was trained during the fatal military flight over the Potomac River, hails from Virginia. She has been described as a warrior who would not hesitate to defend her country.

As an officer, Lobach also served as a White House social aide under the Biden administration. She accompanied high-ranking officials during events and social interactions. The crash site, just a stone's throw away from the White House and Congress, is where the Black Hawk helicopter collided with the passenger plane that was approaching Ronald Reagan Airport.

The investigation into the crash revealed that the Black Hawk crew, equipped with night vision goggles, was conducting training to evacuate government leaders in emergency situations. There are indications that the helicopter may have flown too high, intersecting with the path of the incoming passenger plane from Kansas. President Trump and experts pointed out potential errors by the helicopter pilots, who were flying by sight.

Aside from Lobach, the Black Hawk also carried Sergeant Andrew Eaves as an instructor and Ryan O'Hara as a crew member. Both pilots were highly experienced, with hundreds of flying hours. The tragic crash claimed the lives of all onboard, including renowned figure skaters and promising talents from Boston who were returning from a camp in Kansas.

Just two days after the Washington air disaster, a small plane crashed in Philadelphia, killing all six occupants, including a young girl who had just undergone a life-saving medical procedure in the U.S. The cause of this second tragedy is still under investigation.
