Who is Rebecca Lobach and why is she trending?

A devastating midair collision between an American Airlines flight and a Black Hawk helicopter near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport has resulted in the presumed deaths of all 67 people on board the aircraft. The tragedy occurred on January 29 as the plane was attempting to land, making it one of the deadliest aviation disasters in recent U.S. history.
On Saturday, the Army disclosed the identity of the third crew member aboard the Black Hawk helicopter. According to a report by The Independent, Captain Rebecca Lobach, a 28-year-old native of Durham, N.C., was a distinguished military graduate from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill where she was among the top 20% of cadets nationwide.
She lost her life alongside her fellow crew members—Chief Warrant Officer Andrew Eaves, 39, of Great Mills, Md., and Staff Sergeant Ryan O'Hara, 28, of Lilburn, Ga.—when their Black Hawk helicopter collided with an American Airlines-affiliated flight. The family of Lobach had reportedly asked the army not to reveal the name of her daughter.

Rebeccah Lobach was a decorated member of the army, with 500 hours of flight time. According to NPR, Samantha Brown, Lobach's best friend and an active-duty field artillery soldier, described her as brilliant, dedicated, and a fierce competitor.
Brown recalled Lobach’s exceptional endurance, noting that she could complete a 12-mile march with a 45-pound pack at a pace surpassing the standard for infantry soldiers. Dedicated to her career, Lobach aspired to fly her Black Hawk in a combat deployment and held a long-term dream of becoming a doctor.

Davis Winkie, a White House correspondent for USA Today, trained alongside Lobach in the University of North Carolina ROTC program, took to social media to express their grief and admiration for her. He said, "Rebecca was brilliant and fearless, a talented pilot and a PT stud,"
Lobach’s family released an official statement to the media, in which they said, “We are devastated by the loss of our beloved Rebecca. She was a bright star in all our lives. She was kind, generous, brilliant, funny, ambitious and strong. No one dreamed bigger or worked harder to achieve her goals." They also asked people to respect their privacy in these times.
