A regional jet flown for American Airlines Group collided in a deadly midair crash with a military helicopter around Washington, DC, halting operations at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport and prompting a search and rescue operation in the Potomac River. The plane, operated by subsidiary PSA Airlines, collided with a Sikorsky H-60 Black Hawk helicopter while on approach to Reagan airport at around 9 p.m. local time, the Federal Aviation Administration said in a statement Wednesday night. The flight departed from Wichita, Kansas, with 60 passengers and four crew on board, American Airlines said. There were three airmen aboard the military helicopter out of Fort Belvoir, Virginia, according to an Army official who asked not to be identified discussing details that hadn't been publicly disclosed.
