One of the pilots killed in a crash of an Army special operations helicopter was a former officer who gave up his commission to keep flying in the Army. The other pilot had been a helicopter mechanic in the Marines before crosstraining into the Army to fly.
Two enlisted crew chiefs who died in the crash were both in their early 20s and relatively junior flyers, with just over 700 flying hours each.
Five days after their MH-60 helicopter crashed during a training flight at Joint-Base Lewis-McChord, Washington, the Army identified the crew as Chief Warrant Officer 3 Andrew Cully, 35, of Sparta, Missouri, Chief Warrant Officer 3 Andrew Kraus, 39, of Sanibel, Florida, Sgt. Donavon Scott, 25, from Tacoma, Washington, and Sgt. Jadalyn Good, 23, from Mount Vernon, Washington.
