According to The New York Times, Pentagon air traffic controllers lost contact with an Army Black Hawk helicopter for 20 critical seconds on May 1"an incident emblematic of deeper dysfunction in U.S. military airspace under Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The May 1 scare occurred as the Black Hawk rounded the Pentagon, prompting air traffic controllers to wave away a Delta Airbus and a Republic Airways Embraer due to uncertainty about the chopper's position. Army aviation head Gen. Matthew Braman revealed the details of the incident to the Associated Press. Braman said that the Comms blackout was caused by a poorly placed temporary antenna, which had only recently been moved to the Pentagon's roof.
