Almost posted this earlier, but wanted to wait for more confirmation. Not saying it's true, but it would offer another explanation for Trump hitting DEI right out of the gate when he committed on this.

there is news video of the blackhawks being remotely controlled now. Some one could have taken over the controls

Plot twist: It actually was a White man all along.

Not so sure. The reporting right now is extremely confusing, with some reports saying the Pilot (male) was flying, others saying the co-pilot (female) was.

Since it was a training mission, I'm betting the co-pilot was flying. The Pilot was instructor rated and had over 1500 hours already. Also, even though it's still early, I always find it telling when they slow walk certain information out to the public. They certainly didn't hesitate to name and publish a picture of the pilot (White guy). Who knows how all this will go.

Edit: post updated to reflect correct military branch nomenclature.

A Crew Chief isn't a pilot, it's a mechanic whose basically in charge of the maintenance and operations of the helo.

Yes, I just found that out. The US Army/NG USAF uses different terminology than the branch of service I'm familiar with for describing similar MOS/rates. Nonetheless, they've currently named only two pilots/crew members of the three (males), but not the third pilot (supposedly female).

The lengths to which White men must go to become pilots in the era of DEI...
