Israeli air force grounds CH-53 fleet after emergency landing
2 hours ago

The Israeli air force (IAF) has grounded its fleet of Sikorsky CH-53 Yasur helicopters after one made an emergency landing on 16 August.

The CH-53, with a crew of three, landed safely in a field shortly after taking off from Tel Nof air force base.

Initial indications point to "a problem in the rotor blades", the IAF says, but an investigation is under way.
