MCAS Yuma, AZ
MCAS Search & Rescue flight "Rescue 1" was conducting a training mission within the mountains of the Yuma Proving Grounds, when their main rotor struck the side of a mountain during a hover. The SAR flight went down killing 4 of the 5 passengers on board.
Maj "Brutes" Freitas
Capt "Stuka" Walters
Sgt "Ozzy" Osgood
HM2 "Doc" Sandburg
I knew two of the crew, and can say personally that all these men were outstanding military men. They were all sons, husbands, and fathers, and brothers. Rest in Peace.
