On 6 March 1998 this Aircraft crashed near Crestline, Monument Peak, California. The helicopter was on a routine training mission from NAS North Island, San Diego, California to Las Vegas, Nevada, when air traffic controllers lost contact with it at about 2 P.M. The wreckage was found five hours later. Civilian authorities said the pilot had reported icy rotor blades shortly before he went down in fog. "We talked to him at 1,500 feet above ground and the aircraft was in control and not disabled," controller Michael Harne told The Press-Enterprise in Riverside. "He said, 'We are taking on ice' and he was going to descend. There was no panic."/p>
