[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible the trainee pilot's body hasn't actually been recovered yet?  I see many reports of the other 2 military members of the helicopter being recovered, and the black box, but I haven't seen a report about the third body.  Maybe I missed it? (Not that they couldn't release the name of the expected pilot, but maybe they are waiting for the body?)

Meanwhile, I, personally, would like more info about any activities that helicopter was performing earlier, including transport of VIPs etc.[/quote]

There was previous reports yesterday (I can't attest to their accuracy) that the fuselage was submerged with the crew buckled in. So there may be challenges in the recovery. I would imagine it's difficult diving in the cold Potomac

There's actually a lot of air units in the DC area that do VIP transport. My friend did airplanes (King Air) for the Army for senior congress people up until Covid.  I know of three different units doing similar work. 
 To see what the PAT group was doing, you can see what looks like a similar training flight with likely the same route a few weeks ago https://es.flightaware.com/live/flight/PAT25
