Governor Ron DeSantis ordered flags to be flown at half-staff to honor the pilot of a commercial airliner who died when the plane collided with a Black Hawk helicopter in Virginia.
In the memorandum issued Monday, Governor DeSantis ordered flags to be flown at half-staff in honor of Captain Jonathan Campos.
Campos was the pilot of the commercial airliner that collided with a United States Army Black Hawk helicopter over the Potomac River in Arlington, Virginia, on January 31.
The memorandum said Campos graduated from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in Dayton Beach in 2015. Campos was selected to fly commercially with PSA Airlines, a subsidiary of American Airlines, and became captain in 2022.
The order directed all flags of the United States and the State of Florida to be flown at half-staff at all local and state buildings in Volusia County from sunrise to sunset on Tuesday, February 11.
