Marine helicopter crashes in Arizona, five aboard escape injury
April 6, 2017 (
A Marine Corps CH-53E Super Stallion crashed Wednesday near the Barry M. Goldwater Range in Yuma, Ariz., but none of the five Marines aboard the helicopter were injured, according to a spokesman for the Corps’ Weapons and Tactics Instructors Course.
The helicopter, based at the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, Calif., crashed about 1 p.m. Mountain time while flying a training mission in support of the course, said 1st Lt. Gabriel Adibe.
The extent of the helicopter's damage has not yet been determined, Adibe said, and the cause of the crash is being investigated.
That same day, another Osprey’s landing gear failed, so it landed on reinforced cushions at Marine Corps Air Station Futenma.
