A regional jet collided with an Army Black Hawk helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport on Wednesday evening, U.S. officials confirmed to ABC News.

The U.S. Army described the helicopter as a UH-60 Blackhawk based at Fort Belvoir in Virginia. The helicopter was on a training flight. Military aircraft frequently conduct training flights in and around the congested and heavily-restricted airspace around the nation’s capital for familiarization and continuity of government planning.

The plane, which took off from Wichita, Kan., with 64 people on board, was landing at Reagan National – traveling north toward Runway 33.

An air traffic controller asked the Blackhawk helicopter via radio if it had the regional American Airlines jet in its sight 30 seconds before the Wednesday, Jan. 29 crash.
