The Army has released the identity of Capt. Rebecca M. Lobach, 28, the third crew member killed in a Black Hawk helicopter crash with a commercial jet in Washington. While two male aviators were named previously, the Army initially withheld Lobach’s identity due to her family's request for privacy amidst controversial comments from President Trump blaming diversity for the incident. The Lobach family later highlighted her qualifications as an R.O.T.C. graduate and experienced pilot, with the investigation into the crash still ongoing.
Captain Rebecca M. Lobach, 28, identified as the third crew member who died in a Black Hawk helicopter collision, served valiantly with more than 450 flight hours.
The incident, which resulted in Capt. Lobach's tragic death, remains under investigation, while her family's request for privacy has been respected by Army officials.
