Pave Hawk Down

Post by Supra » Fri Mar 16, 2018 1:45 am

Reports emerging that a US. HH-60G Pave Hawk helicopter has crashed in Al Qaim, Iraq close to the Syrian Border at around 23:30 (GMT) on Thursday 15th March. Allegedly 7 USAF personnel on-board, fatalities expected but NOT confirmed. Preliminary information states that hostile action was not a factor. Many later Reports referring to the time-line between "this & other fatal incidents", so not looking good for the families? :(

Sadly all 7 crew members died after the Pave Hawk apparently hit powerlines

Godbless. RIP.
