MENDON, N.Y. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is calling for a federal investigation following a last month’s deadly
helicopter crash just outside Rochester, and a second crash in Idaho weeks later. Six guardsmen were killed in those crashes.
Schumer wants investigators to look into the safety of Army and Air National Guard Vertical Lift Programs. He says a report by the National Commission on Military Aviation Safety found that, since 2013, 186 aircrafts have been destroyed, and people have been killed in non-combat-related mishaps.
Senator Chuck Schumer is joining the call for a federal investigation into two recent military helicopter crashes including the crash last month in Mendon that killed three National Guardsmen.
