. . The helicopter was on a routine annual night training flight along a designated corridor for Continuity of Government missions, which ensure essential government functions persist during crises, according to WUSA9.
The U.S. Army has initiated an investigation to determine the cause of the collision. Preliminary reports indicate that the Black Hawk was on a training flight with a crew of three soldiers.
Fox News obtained exclusive information regarding the crew members aboard the Army helicopter at the time of the accident. The instructor pilot commanding the Black Hawk boasted 1,000 flying hours.
Meanwhile, his co-pilot was a woman with 500 flying hours, considered to be a standard level of experience in aviation circles.
The revelation that the co-pilot was a woman has reignited ongoing debates about gender roles within military operations.
Fox News reported:
The instructor pilot in charge who was flying the Black Hawk had 1,000 flying hours – which is considered “very experienced,” Fox News has learned. Most flights are on average two hours in length.
The co-pilot had 500 flying hours, which is considered a “normal” amount of experience. Fox News is told the co-pilot was a woman. Both the instructor pilot in charge and the co-pilot were being evaluated during the flight, and were familiar with the area and route, Fox News is told.
Military and other government helicopters fly this route almost daily, according to a senior Army pilot and warrant officer.
According to a senior U.S. defense official, one set of remains from the soldiers on the Black Hawk were recovered Thursday afternoon.
