By: Tara Copp   16 hours ago
Marine Corps aviation accidents have jumped 80 percent over the past five years, a Military Times investigation has found.
From fiscal years 2013 through 2017, the total number of Marine Corps aviation accidents rose from 56 to 101 per year. Most of the increase came from Class C mishaps ― accidents that cost between $50,000 to $500,000, or resulted in lost work days due to injury.
The Marine Corps is still looking for the “why,†said Marine Corps Col. Anthony Bianca, head of aviation plans and programs.
