[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Haven't read the more recent posts on the 239! pages. Any word on who was being transported in the BH between whereever it was they were? Was it actually a vip and whom?[/quote]

They weren’t transporting anyone. It was just the 3 of them in the helicopter. [/quote]

They began the route at Langley in McLean. That’s not a training run. [/quote]

There were over 40 close calls over the last few years. It could have been any flight. So what if you get a list of everyone who has been in a helicopter in that area over the last few years who created danger by using a helicopter in a congested airspace. What are you going to do with that information?[/quote]

There are two separate problems.  Yeah, there are close calls all the time. That’s a known problem.

The other problem is that it’s possible this flight never should have happened. We have an administration that likes to treat themselves and their friends to buildings, servers, documents, and benefits that they are not entitled to.  If someone who doesn’t qualify for VIP flights got one, that’s reckless. Oh, and it’s fraud, waste, and abuse.

Maybe someone in the military or reserves can explain checkride requirements and scheduling to you again some day. 
Meanwhile don’t quit your remote blogger job.[/quote]

No one does a check ride picking up a civilian unauthorized to receive military flights. Maybe the last leg of the flight was used for training, but the point is, the flight might not have been necessary at all.  The question is: was training added on to justify the flight for someone who shouldn’t have received a ride? THAT is fraud, waste, and abuse.  And unnecessary risk. [/quote]

Get a grip PP.

Start your own threads under paranormal activity or something. [/quote]

You’re so defensive. All that’s being asked is was main reason for the flight legitimate?  Or do you really believe that the entire flight to the most secure location in our area and through the most overcrowded, known high-risk,  civilian -heavy flight path was “for training”? I don’t.

Yes the main reason for the flight was legitimate. It was a check ride test scheduled ahead of time for the female pilot. She needed the hours and ride time, this was the day and evening it was scheduled.

It’s not like they called her off her base last minute and said get to WDC in an hour to do an impromptu test with no prep time. [/quote]

Concur. Every country practices air and land evacuations of its capital city leadership, now ours is exposed. Badly.  The route, the gear, the pilot skills, the rules, the failures. [/quote]

If we’re evacuating, commercial flights aren’t landing.  Practicing this is not a legitimate reason to put civilians at risk. [/quote]
