![]() ![]() Shot down by an FMLN patrol in San Francisco canton at approx 1430 hours in Lolotique district, Department of San Miguel, while flying at low altitude. At 1550' AGL, A/C appeared to resume level flight attitude, lost fwd airspeed and entered flat right spin, stopped spinning at 500' AGL and fell vertically into Lake Ilopango and immediately sank to depth of 200'.ĭuring a night-aided flight at 75' AGL and 60 KIAS, pilot made an evasive right turn to avoid another acft and while still in a slight descent, hit 10' berm. A/C rolled right and entered right, nose-low, spiraling descent. Post crash fire engulfed the A/C.Ī/C was climbing to cruise altitude shortly after takeoff in flight of two when it encountered T/R stoppage. At some point during spin, CE was thrown clear of acft and impact with ground caused xmsn to fall over which crushed the medic and the pilots were pinned against the instrument panel. A/C was skimming along only 4-6' above the rugged prairie at an estimated speed of 100 mph, when the pilots banked into a sharp turn, causing M/R blades to strike the ground.Ī/C on a medical evacuation mission crashed into a mountain at approx 3000' level, outside of Soto Cano AFB near Comayagua.Ī/C was on a medevac mission under NVG's when AAA fire hit the T/R causing acft to enter an uncontrollable spin.

As a result, the crew became spatially disoriented and flew the aircraft into the ground. Investigation suspected that they continued flight using degraded visual cues that caused them to falsely interpret their altitude and visible horizon. Approx one minute after takeoff as A/C was making a left downwind departure from LZ after hot refuel, the A/C struck the ground in a left roll, nose-low attitude traveling 60-70 KIAS. *Miller was the first helicopter fatality in the Indiana ARNG.Ī/C was on a low-level, NOE NVG navigation training flight approx 2 miles E of Samson at 2100 hours in Geneva County. ![]() nose-down level attitude resulting in a 57 G's crash force.Ī/C was in flight of four when it crashed at 1757 hours approx 8 mi SE from Camp Atterbury during routine NOE training due to failure of the forward reduction gear assembly component of the A/C's engine. At 2017 hours the A/C impacted the ground in a 30-deg. and traveled 3/10 nm back towards the approach end of runway. Pilot was performing a second ILS approach when A/C traveled 3/10 nm past the runway approach end, turned approx 180 deg.
