This is the third helicopter crash this year in the U.S. Army. It's the first involving Apache attack copters.


Three soldiers were killed and another was injured when two AH-64 Apache helicopters collided Thursday as they were flying back from a military training flight near Healy, Alaska, US Army officials said.​
The Longbow radar can track 128 targets at a range of 5 miles. How the flying hell do you run into something?

Showing your ass and screwing around is the only way I can think of. Shit like this is happening all over the U.S. Armed forces, from the Captain of USS Enterprise posting moronic videos to ships set on fire by their own crew to Marines running into each other in tanks to helicopters running into each other to air force airmen stealing and posting top secret documents on Discord...

Once again, just more proof positive that our younger generation seems to think they're still playing video games in their moms basement and there's no repercussions for anything they do.
 
Close formation exercise? They may also have been running 'silent' so the only indication of closeness would be visual.

Or some ass did decide to see if he could do something stupid.

I've known pilots of both kinds, one killed by close combat flying, shitty weather and bad luck while another who pushed the envelope until he crashed and killed one person.
