Army Black Hawk helicopter causes 2 terrifying near-misses with airliners at Reagan airport after taking the 'scenic route'

Last week, an Army Black Hawk helicopter caused alarming near-misses with two commercial airliners at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport by taking a detour on its way to the Pentagon. This incident raised significant concerns, especially following a previous mid-air collision involving the same unit. Officials expressed outrage, with Transportation Secretary Duffy labeling the behavior as 'unacceptable.' The chopper's flight path put it within dangerous proximity of the approaching jets, prompting FAA controllers to order the planes to abort their landings.

It is outrageous that only three months after an Army Black Hawk helicopter tragically collided with a passenger jet, the same Army brigade again flew a helicopter too close to passenger jets on final approach.

The Black Hawk took a scenic route around the Pentagon versus proceeding directly from the west to the heliport, causing near-misses with two commercial planes.
