Pilot training in the Black Hawk requires flying into an actual or simulated fog bank and using the aircraft&#8217;s controls to navigate safely out, he said,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I&#8217;m not a pilot so I&#8217;ll speak from a novice standpoint, but [the guardsmen] are very cognizant of weather conditions before they depart on a mission,&#8221; he said. &#8220;But you can depart from one station and hit weather you didn&#8217;t expect.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A second Black Hawk that was participating in Tuesday night&#8217;s mission had taken off from Eglin, but quickly returned to base due to weather concerns, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Families and next-of-kin of the four guardsmen had been notified of the crash by 7 a.m. Wednesday<span class=\"rte rte-comment\"> today<\/span>, Curtis said, even though emergency personnel continued to treat the situation as a search-and-rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A spokesman for Marine Corps Forces Special Operations Command, Capt. Barry Morris, said Corps officials <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">the Marines <\/span>were in the process of notifying the next-of-kin of the seven MARSOC troops who were <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">had been <\/span>aboard the helo <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">chopper <\/span>and expected that process to be complete by this evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Eglin Air Force Base has incident command posts set up. The leadership there will make that determination that we will transition to recovery,&#8221; Curtis said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Curtis said the current priority was rescuing <span class=\"rte rte-comment\">of <\/span>the troops involved in the crash, he said a safety board inspection would be conducted by the Army&#8217;s Aviation Center, out of Fort Rucker, Alabama. The center will make the final determination about the cause of the crash, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Curtis said he had heard from President Obama and Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal, who both expressed their condolences and offered their support as rescue operations continue.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The effort to locate 11 missing Marines and guardsmen in a UH-60 Black Hawk that crashed off the coast of Florida Tuesday night remains a search-and-rescue operation and has not transitioned into a recovery mission, according to an Army general.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":16129,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-noindex":"","_yoast_wpseo_meta-robots-nofollow":"","_yoast_wpseo_canonical":"","_acf":"","_yoast_wpseo_primary_category":69,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_smg_distribution_targets":[]},"categories":[12,69],"tags":[],"coauthors":[2551],"class_list":["post-19090","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-your-marine-corps"],"acf":{"subheadline":"","legacy_arc_id":"NAKYOR7KOZBDJBA3OVRL5IIL2A","arc_canonical_url":"\/news\/your-marine-corps\/2015\/03\/11\/2-star-rescue-efforts-continue-in-helo-crash\/","remove_feature_photo":false,"is_sponsored":false,"subtype":"","redirect_url":"","disable_inline_ads":false,"native_logo_pretext":"Presented By:"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.0 (Yoast SEO v28.1) -
