A bad couple weeks for military aviation. I'm a helo crewman myself, and know the risks taken, and the preventative measures taken to minimize risks. I've lost friends over the years and hearing about the most recent events at NS Norfolk only brings back memories. It's good for HM-14 that there are survivors. It will greatly assist the mishap board more than any VFDR will. Godspeed to our airmen and sailors lost.
