A long-planned celebration of the Army’s 250th anniversary will now include the military parade of Trump’s dreams. Here’s everything we know.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A hotline connecting the Pentagon and Federal Aviation Administration air traffic controllers at Reagan Washington National Airport has been inoperable since March 2022, an FAA official told a Senate committee on Wednesday.

The issue came to light after two landings at Reagan National airport had to be waved off because of a nearby Army helicopter.

An FAA official said the hotline, which connects air traffic control at Washington's DCA with the Pentagon, hasn't worked since 2022. An Army helicopter collided with a passenger jet there in January.
