NTSB animation on DCA midair collision

In 1974, the Army told us all female soldiers are to be addressed as "Mam." I do not believe that has changed since then. So the instructor addressing the pilot as mam only indicates he was following Army practice and etiquette.

Edit: It pays to read a comment before posting.

Have you flown with nods with this auto gating and gain? I’m glad they have this feature now because we didn’t in my day. Do they really cut down the bright bloom effect? I helped pioneer the Anvis 6’s with the then new 25mm lens’s back in the 90’s
A friend of mine got a pair of brand new RNVG Bino’s (L3 thin film white phosphor) and let me try them. With his blessing I looked towards the well lit parking lot ~200ft behind us and the tubes dimmed to a comfortable level almost imperceptibly. There was still naturally a bit of bloom but otherwise I couldn’t really tell a difference vs looking at the trees across the field in pitch black. Still easy to tell make and model of the cars in the lot.
