An American Airlines pilot reassured any passengers nervous of flying in a heartfelt pre-flight announcement following the tragic D.C plane crash.

Jonathan Campos of Ormond Beach is believed to be the captain of an American Airlines flight that went down in a collision with a military helicopter.

The pilots of the American Airlines plane that collided with a U.S. Army helicopter late Wednesday night have been identified. Jonathan Campos, 34, was the captain of American Airlines Flight 5342 when an Army helicopter apparently flew into its path as it prepared for landing at Ronald Reagan National Airport near Washington,

Both the captain, Jonathan J. Campos, 34, and co-pilot, Sam Lilley, 28, had been flying for years, according to family and friends.

Timothy Lilley, the father of a pilot on board the American Airlines flight which collided with a U.S. Army helicopter near Washington, D.C., Wednesday night, said Thursday he suspects the helicopter may have been at fault.

The father of pilot Sam Lilley, who is also a pilot, says his 28-year-old son was one of the pilots in the deadly American Airlines flight which collided with an Army helicopter in Washington, D.C.
