(1) Watch: Another tense one at Reagan National. On September 17, 2022, three days after the reported Marine/Coast Guard near miss (attached), a commercial jet crossed Runway 15/33 as another jet was on final approach to land on 33. (more) #aviation #reagannational

Aviation expert Donald J. Trump has issued a statement via Truth Social what happened at #ReaganNational:

"The Blackhawk helicopter was flying too high, by a lot. It was far above the 200 foot limit. That’s not really too complicated to understand, is it???"

'He died doing what he absolutely loved': Flight attendant death confirmed in crash "Please pray for Ian and our family as we travel to DC," Debi Epstein said. Ian Epstein was one of 64 people on board AA Flight 5342.

My cousin's brother-in-law. RIP Ian. #PlaneCrash #ReaganNational

The tributes to him are stunning -- if you put his name into the search bar on FB, there's a treasure trove of videos, pictures, and anecdotes from passengers he befriended.
