There was a male pilot as well, but apparently he was supposed to be evaluating her performance. So this means that she was probably operating the helicopter when it flew into the airplane.
NPR reported that the unnamed soldier was "a female pilot with 500 hours of flying experience" and that "the withholding of a name in instances like this is a highly unusual move."[28]
- a female pilot, whose name has not yet been made public at the request of the family, who was undergoing her annual night evaluation flight.[27][6]
