[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like to hear the DoD say they are suspending all non-essential helicopter flights in the DC area pending an investigation. They won't, but they should.

Given this incident, there is no reason for DoD to be using airspace around DC for ordinary transport (that could easily and efficiently be done by car) or for training.

They won't do this though because it would raise the question of whether it was irresponsible to be using helicopters so extensively for these non-essential purposes in the first place.[/quote]

I would like to hear this, too.  The Air Force base on one side of the river, very busy DCA on the other side - there is no room for error and it’s unbelievable air traffic controllers are supposed to handle landing a plane every two minutes in this tight airspace, even if they didn’t have to watch out for military helicopters!

And again this was an annual recertification training flight for the helicopter.  The AF base is right there.[/quote]
