5/11/2005 - KIRTLAND AIR FORCE BASE, N.M. (AFPN) – One Airman was killed and two others injured in an HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter crash May 11 about 100 miles northeast of Santa Fe.
The helicopter was assigned to the 58th Special Operations Wing’s 512th Rescue Squadron. It was on a training mission when it crashed at about 1:30 p.m.
The names of the crew are being withheld pending notification of next of kin. The cause of the accident will be investigated.
Saw a clip of the crash site on the news this a.m. and it looked pretty bad. My thoughts and prayers go out to the crew and their families.
