On Wednesday, an Osprey crash killed 5 Marines. Thursday, a Navy helicopter crashed, injuring one.
A Navy helicopter crashed in Imperial County on Thursday evening, less than 48 hours after a Marine Corps aircraft went down in the same county,The incident follows several other crashes nationwide and has resurrected concerns about military aviation safety — including from members of Congress — that go back several years.
“One of the aircrew has suffered a non-life threatening injury and has been transported to a local hospital.” The aircraft was based at Marine Corps Air Station Camp Pendleton with Marine Aircraft Group 39 and crashed around 12:25 p.m. near Coachella Canal Road and Highway 78. In addition to those lost in the Osprey crash, another member of the military died this month in a Southern California aircraft crash. U.S. Navy pilot Lt. Richard Bullock was killed on June 3 when his F/A-18E Super Hornet crashed in the desert, in the general area of Trona, the Navy said in a statement.
