“The Blackhawk helicopter was flying too high, by a lot. It was far above the 200 foot limit. That’s not really too complicated to understand, is it???” Trump posted.
U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has also suggested there was an elevation issue with the helicopter.
According to Reuters, U.S. military helicopters are capped at 200 feet for safety reasons on their route over the Potomac River near the Reagan Airport, known as Route 4.”
NOBODY should be flying across the flightpaths of that airport.
