Last Night We Lost THREE Braves Men In Minnesota - National Guard

[OttoMan]

Again, another stupid accident, while they were doing maintenance flight with a Black-hawk Helicopter. Which means, "Human Error"... very sad. May God comfort the families of these three Brothers!!
Rest Easy my Friends...
May God be with ALL others Men & Women of Armed Forces!!

I have some good friends in the MN NG. For many years there it seemed wherever I went, I ended up standing next to a Red Bull. I also served with the 34th Red Bulls in Basrah Iraq '09. We lost three of them there to IDF.


Rest in peace Red Bulls.

Prayers lifted up for the guardsmen and their families and brothers-in-arms.

There is a reason we referred to them as "crash hawks" in the Navy. I survived 3 Helo mishaps back in the day. Happens more than we know. RIP Brothers.

May God Bless their families.

I reached out to some folks that are in ArNG aviation to see if there were any details. As of right now, the cause hasn't been stated. So while it's a pretty good guess that human error was involved at some level, we don't know that for sure.
