And here I was thinking that the flight suits for pregnant (persons) was all BS.   Is it me . or have so many of these events been the story line from episodes of Law & Order ?

"A Piper Cherokee, depending on its specific model and category, can typically withstand a maximum G-force of +3.8 G in normal category operations, while some models in the utility category may be certified for up to +4.4 G; meaning that is the maximum load factor it can handle before structural damage could occur"

I learned to fly in a Cherokee. I took my check ride in one to get my license. If I was to compare it to a car it's the 72 Chevy nova of the airplane world. I flew with an instructor that was a bomber pilot in Vietnam, he showed me what a 3 G maneuver feels like. I thought my spine was going to blow out. Imagine suddenly being 3 times your weight because that is exactly what it is.

Now think of a military aircraft that is capable of many more G forces, not to mention negative G forces.

Is that something you want to expose an unborn baby to? These people are insane.

That's the first time I've ever heard that. It's an interesting thing. Not that I researched it or went out of my way to see it, but I had seen a few things about the pregnant flight suits. The idiots advocating for that nonsense never said a peep about any of that.  This is one of Lord knows how many examples of the lunacy that was going on.......but DON'T tell anybody.

The pilot of the Black Hawk helicopter that collided with the CRJ, Army Captain Rebecca Lobach, did not comply with directions to change course seconds before the fatal incident. 

On the night of January 29, Lobach was conducting an annual flight evaluation with her co-pilot Chief Warrant Officer 2 Andrew Loyd Eaves, who was serving as her flight instructor. 

Three months on, new details reveal that Lobach made more than one mistake leading to the collision with an AA CRJ.

Not only was Lobach flying her Black Hawk too high, but in the final moments before the impact, she failed to take advice and instruction from her co-pilot to switch course.

Lobach's piloting skills were being tested during the evaluation on the fateful night, before the crew were informed that another aircraft was nearby.

15 seconds before colliding with the CRJ, Reagan National air traffic control told Lobach and Eaves to turn left, but she did not do so. 

Seconds before impact, co-pilot Eaves then turned to Lobach in the cockpit and told her that air traffic control wanted her to turn left. She still did not do so.
