The Helo indeed had the wrong plane insight.
Appreciate your comments. As a senior Army Aviator (helicopter) with over 1500 flight hours and 754 combat hours in Vietnam, I wanted to try to help people understand some of the basics of this accident before getting into "who shot John." First, the pilots are responsible for seeing out of the front of the helicopter. A helicopter can move in many directions fast. Second, there should have been four crew on the aircraft flying in this restricted air space. Third, don't understand flying with night vision googles along this dangerous route. I lived just south of Reagean when I served in the Pentagon, and it is a busy area. Having released the name and qualifications of the command pilot, she wasn't qualified to be flying this dangerous mission in this area. Whoever assigned her this mission at higher headquarters has to answer for 67 crew and passengers. Many mistakes were made during this accident, and many corrections need to be made, but it starts with looking out the front of your helicopter. Why. The weather was good, and they accepted visual flight rules. Regardless, if you can see out the front, you are responsible.
The whole flight path of the Helo is way to close to the Airport.
That's route was wrong from day one.
