Anybody hear any more than what's being reported? Was it only those four onboard? Was Cpl. Faircloth part of the squadron? They mentioned the pilots and crew chief, but nothing about what the Cpl does.



I flew on some of those helicopters 10+ years ago.

There were only the four on board. Cpl Faircloth was an aerial observer with the squadron.

The helo is still in the bay, right next to my favorite fishing spot... :( Would be something to be upset about had no one been killed or injured...
