The American army released the name of the third soldier who died in a collision of helicopter on Wednesday near Reagan National Airport in Washington, Captain DC Rebecca M. Lobach, 26, Durham, in North Carolina, was one of the three army staff killed when their helicopter collided with an American Airlines jet.

Lobach, an army aviation officer, joined the army in July 2019 and quickly acquired a distinguished reputation. His awards included a medal of Élogieuse of the army and a medal for the army. She had accumulated more than 450 hours of flight and was certified as a pilot in order after rigorous tests by senior pilots in her battalion.
In a declaration published by his family, they shared their pride of his achievements and his dedication to serve his country. Lobach was also recognized as a distinguished military graduate in the ROTC program of the University of North Carolina, where she ranked in 20% of the country’s cadets. His family noted his aspiration to become a doctor after his service.
“We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Rebecca. She was a brilliant star in all our lives. She was kind, generous, shiny, funny, ambitious and strong. No one dreamed or worked harder to achieve their goals, “said the declaration, adding:” We are asking to respect our private life while we mourn this devastating loss. “”
Friday, the names of the other two soldiers who died in the accident were released by the army. They are the staff sergeant Ryan Austin O’Hara, 28, from Lilburn, Georgia, who was the team leader, and the chief adjutant 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves, 39, from Great Mills, Maryland , who was a pilot.
There was no specific explanation of the army for the delay of a day in the release of its name. But while the investigation into the accident is just beginning, President Donald Trump has publicly blamed the helicopter to fly at an overly high altitude. And he published a long criticism concerning a hiring initiative of the diversity of the FAA – in particular with regard to air traffic controllers – saying that they eroded the safety of thefts.
However, no evidence appeared to suggest that the diversity initiative played a role in the collision.
