traffic control system at Reagan. The Deputy Chief was on
Capitol Hill for hearing and they confirmed that a hotline
between air traffic controllers at Reagan National and the Pentagon.
Speaker 1 (00:25):
Has not worked since twenty twenty two.
Speaker 2 (00:28):
That's still, isn't it now?
Speaker 1 (00:29):
That seems like a pretty big problem, he said.
Speaker 3 (00:33):
The FAA only became aware of the problem after a
recent near miss at the airport. The agency wants a
hotline restored before it allows Army helicopter flights to resume
near the airport, which I mean.

Well, because it's like it's the airport employees. It's like
at the airport, it's not like the airline's supposed to
set up, but it's not their employees that push. It's
like the airport has their own service employees that do it.

the Manchester United game.

is fantastic as far as like finding places easier for
my dad to get to. Yeah, because it is like
it's built in nineteen four or whatever. It's it's a
piece of it's like RFK. The owners put no money
