Ian Glick, a veteran U.S. Park Police Officer and president of its union, said rank and file officers are losing confidence in Eagle 2 and are lobbying Congressional leaders for a replacement.
“When you fly a helicopter, you’re not breaking the laws of physics, but you’re bending them," Glick said. "And if you’re bending them for an extended period of time on an airframe, it causes problems.”
The I-Team found no safety incidents involving the helicopter. Glick said Eagle 2 is currently safe to operate, but pilots are losing confidence in its airframe.
Glick said, “With a helicopter, should the engine go out, the helicopter is going straight down.”
