Im not sure about Army Helos but most USAF helos have VHF. VHF wouldn't have helped in this accident. If they had the 33 traffic in sight, they should have turned or hovered. The lack of SA (from all involved) plus an altitude deviation at a critical moment caused this. It's nearly impossible and dumb (in my opinion) to try and fly under landing traffic to 33. I know from experience. Edit: @tac airlifter makes a good point in a future post regarding this accident. The CRJ shouldn't be faulted for this. The lack of SA (from Pat and tower) plus the altitude error caused this.

Weren't you on the 86 USAFA hand ball team with uncle Allvin?

Holy shit dude! That's probably the coolest way to be exterminated. Nicolas Cage at his best.

Put them in Greenland.

Lol

This. On one checkride, I observed a Pilot blow through the ILS on base to final. He had no idea how this could have happened. So I intervened, to let him know that he forgot to check that he had the right course dialed in and that this was a direct result of the the Pilot neglecting to check his gig on the downwind. This created an electric phenomenon, causing the aircraft's ILS to malfunction. It was a shame, the dude was a good Pilot, but I had to teach him a lesson. Unfortunately for him, he did this during a checkride so my hands were tied. The only man I ever saw cry during a debrief. The last that I heard, he transitioned to be a woman Pilot flying rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong.

Only if he has a hand ball gig (not gig line) lined up for after retirement. I have heard that he has the best hand ball maneuvering capabilities since Nam. Got to get those golden hands on to some balls!

The best song ever written!

You'll get a sq full of flawless gig lines! Nothing makes an airman fly better than perfect uniforms backed up by endless quarterly meat gazzing parties. As a former Evaluator, I used to line up the crew (crews for formation) outside of the briefing room to take a good look at their crotches. Some of the best aviators I knew had perfect gig lines. Perfectly lined up shirts, belts and pants equaled an instant EQ! No need to fly. I knew they were good. Edit: The one piece flight suit made gig lines pretty easy to evaluate. I hooked a guy once because he had a mangina zipper. The two piece flight suit was more fun, you could really get into the nooks and crannies. I only allowed them to put on their body armor once the lines were properly gigged. The gig line check should be incorporated into the before landing checklist AF wide. The last step. Gig Line.................."Checked" Before landing checklist...... "Completed" Even you fighter guys need to be checking your gigs before landing. Flight leads are responsible for the lines for the formation. Also, we will add the gig check as a step into your ingress and egress checklists. This should stop the accidents and increase lethality.

"I didn't vote for Elon Musk!"-a bunch of knuckle heads . I find it amusing that the left is so scared of losing USAID. What will DOGE discover? I, for one, am tired of wasteful government spending. We should not be spending millions on condoms. Those are useless and make sex bad.

"Allvin[4] graduated from the United States Air Force Academy in 1986. During his time at the Academy he played team handball with USAFA Team Handball.[5] " - Wikipedia Hand ball. He played collegiate level hand ball. The gig line thing is making sense now.

Checking out a dude's gig line sounds pretty gay.

Yeap

I'd like to think I helped warp a few doing barrel rolls (dives for me) during UPT.

It looks Iike he has Army wings? What a dumbass.

WTF did I just watch? The guy had the reading ability of a 4th grader. We have to elect a make believer to make our process fair. These people need to see a war zone.

First assignment captains with average time. The three that I'm thinking of specifically were all good pilots. It may be rare, but we had a few shiny pennies that didn't suck as pilots. They were good people too. I knew a few execs in my 11H career who were solid pilots as well. The crappiest pilot I knew was a 60 dude who crossed over to the Huey. He happened to be the CC.

I knew a few pilots who did WH things. They were solid pilots. I agree with this.

No. That's in the range of new aircraft commander.

That Lear Jet looked like a missile.

For the Gulf War dudes.

For the fat Gothic chicks.
