Although I agree that crash related posts go to the appropriate thread.... It was an Army helicopter, and man is it going to mess up the routine military helicopter flights that had been occuring. We should keep an eye out for new routes.

Thanks

Looking out for new routes is one thing, I do not disagree, but further discussion about the accident would better be done in the main thread. Also, I doubt there will be much of a change in routes as everyone who usually uses that route appears to have been given an exemption to the halt in helo traffic, based on the link posted above.

Apologize for the OT post, the aircraft in question is a Learjet 55 XA-UCI. Departed RWY24 KPNE. Appears to be a medical aircraft?

The USCG helicopter unit actually at DCA wasn't exempted for routine training. Hopefully they will be able to resume soon enough, I don't know how much proficiency training they need.
(IAW the letter of the link that was posted, they grounded except for emergencies only).

Thanks
