JOINT BASE ELMENDORF-RICHARDSON, Alaska (AP) — The U.S. Army says Friday that it has grounded non-critical aviators for training after deadly helicopter crashes in Alaska and Kentucky killed 12 in the past month.
Military investigators were making their way to Alaska's interior on Friday, one day after a midair collision between two helicopters killed three soldiers and injured a fourth.
The crash occurred about 100 miles south of Fort Wainwright.
Much is still not publicly known about the crash in the remote interior of the state, 250 miles from Anchorage
