What Must Change After the DCA Crash? | The Captain & Kennedy Air Show
Captain Steeeve and Kennedy Steve kick off the show with the latest aviation updates, along with a little FBI investigation talk from Kennedy’s time working in the control tower. Then, the conversation turns deeply personal with a powerful, immersive, and revealing interview with Tim and Sheri Lilley, the parents of Sam Lilley—a 28-year-old first officer who was tragically killed in the January 29, 2025, DCA crash. Tim and Sheri share stories about Sam’s life, his love for aviation, and the lasting impact he left on everyone who knew him. Tim and Sheri offer a unique perspective—not only as parents grieving the loss of their son, but also as professionals with years of experience in the aviation industry. They share stories about Sam’s life and passion for flying while discussing the safety issues surrounding the DCA crash, the changes they believe are urgently needed, and how the aviation industry can improve to help prevent another tragedy like this from happening again.
