@wxyzdetroit: As we learn more about the deadly collision between an American Airlines jet and a U.S. Army helicopter outside of Reagan National Airport near Washington, we wanted to talk to an aviation expert to get his view of what happened. Mike Hatten started as a helicopter pilot in the U.S. Army and then transferred into airline flying and flew for Continental and United Airlines for decades. Hatten said that Reagan National Airport is one of the most challenging airports in the United States. “There are many challenges the prohibited areas, national monuments, the White House, the Capitol, the Washington Monument, the Pentagon, Mount Vernon to the south. I mean, I could go on about that. It’s a very challenging environment that requires close in maneuvering to actually get on the ground to keep from violating this airspace,” Hatten said
