Correcting a previous post, the radio traffic to the blackhawk was "do you have the CRJ in sight" and was told to go behind the CRJ, to which PAT25 advises "in sight...visual separation." 12/

Audio between PAT25 and DCA tower asking if they have the CRJ in sight. Affirms and requests visual separation.
