Davis Winkie, a White House reporter for USA Today who previously wrote for the Military Times, recalled training with Lobach and the down times that took them to Linda’s bar in downtown Chapel Hill for trivia nights. They stayed in touch after her commission as a Black Hawk pilot, he said.

The U.S. Army has named the third service member who died in the collision between a Black Hawk helicopter and a commercial plane.

Capt. Rebecca Lobach, 28, of Durham, North Carolina, was identified as one of the pilots of the Black Hawk flight that collided with American Eagle Flight 5342.
