Technically yes, but not really because the airspace is usually shut down for them. This other chopper didn't have that privelege thus a higher level of skill is required.

He's basically saying it now
Mannnnn
It’s going to many attempts on his wig getting split by his own people
This what the American people voted for.. I blame them more than I blame Trump at this point
LOL Trump said we need the smartest people based on brains and only brains.
No. They are "one of the good ones" that "played by the rules" and "paid their dues". Probably won't even get it until he directly calls them out on something. They have the same mentality of a lot of Hispanics, they refuse to realize they are liked as long as they are useful.
You just repeated what I said lol
Considering the fact that he takes "executive time" (watches TV) up till 11:00 am which his staff has previously stated.... takes 25 minutes to get dressed and come downstairs to the press room where he saw it on the podium for his 11;30 presser...... it fits the timeline..

This made my heart drop to the floor. Dammit man why
i knew the conspiracy theories were right around the corner........
Night vision goggles in helicopter could have played a role, former Army pilot says
Reed M. Kimbrough, a former Army helicopter pilot, said it would be premature to make any conclusions about the cause of the midair collision in Washington, D.C., before an investigation is complete.
But he was not totally surprised that the tragedy occurred between an American Airlines plane and an Army Black Hawk helicopter, he said, because night vision goggles can impact a pilot’s depth perception.
Kimbrough, who flew from 1978 to 1986, said, “There’s a lag in vision as the night vision goggles recalibrate from looking inside at the instruments to back outside,” he said, potentially making objects initially seem farther away than they are.
He added that the helicopter “seemed to be flying too high. The mandated height of flying for a helicopter around that airport, with the ambient lighting near it, is 200 feet.” Reports said the helicopter was between 300 and 350 feet at collision.
I don’t wanna hear that excuse from looking at the video that helicopter made a V line towards the airplane if you’ve been in a Blackhawk helicopter or seeing one your vision is very clear and it wasn’t raining or cloudy that night. There is something else going on here in like I said earlier Trump is doing a horrible job on keeping this cover up going. People we screwed.
That CAC is way below mediocre. Even for a CAC. But gets a seat?
Trump like to promote mediocre white man to the position with this tragedy that showed.
I don't think it was a cover up..that pilot was told to follow the plane in front of him..problem was there was two planes in front of him...he never saw the one he hit
