Two National Guardsmen die in Mississippi helicopter crash
Two Mississippi National Guardsmen are dead after their helicopter crashed during a training flight Friday in Mississippi, according to the state’s Gov. Tate Reeves (R).
The two-seat AH-64 Apache crashed in rural Prentiss County in the northeast corner of the state around 2 p.m. while on a routine training flight, Reeves wrote on X.
“Tragically, both Guardsmen on board did not survive. Safety crews are currently working the scene of the crash with local authorities,” Reeves wrote. “Mississippi will always be grateful for their service and we will never forget them.”
