The questions he’s asking aren’t wrong to ask. The real problem, IMO, is that he’s the president and can’t simply post those questions publicly. He’s an idiot, though, so this is what we get.
But seriously, he also asks why the Black Hawk pilot didn’t do ANYTHING to avoid a known flight path and I’ve asked the same thing.
This is the kind of stuff the "deregulate everything" crowd never seems to think about.
This dumbass is in the process of removing all enforcement of agency regulations and then this prime example of why we have rules in the first place appears
Exactly. Firing half the government would lead to outcomes like this
"Nooo, we don't mean those regulations, only the bad ones!"
proceeds to blindly revoke regulations
"Whoopsie!"
Why was the army running a night flight training mission in DC?
Such a crowded airspace and I'm sure the military didn't coordinate their flight plans with the local air traffic control.
You're sure? Why wouldn't they? Jumping to these types of conclusions is bad.
It’s a valid question, but I just watched a press conference where somebody explained that these aren’t rookie pilots but pilots looking to log the proper amount of flight hours.
I agree, the military is utterly incompetent and arrogant, so this wouldn't surprise me if it's the Army's fault.
Sadly the conspiracy theorist in me asks “who was on that plane that had a hit out out against them?” Latest was saying there were Russian figure skaters on board.
I hate that my mind goes there but with this freaking administration, anything is possible.
