A Marine Corps CH-53E Super Stallion collision off the coast of Hawaii in January that left all 12 Marines aboard dead was the result of an epidemic of low flight hours and subpar readiness rates across the fleet, the head of Marine Corps aviation told Military.com on Wednesday.
Speaking the day the Marine Corps was expected to release its full investigation into the tragic crash, Lt. Gen. Jon Davis said the probe found the aircraft themselves were in fine condition to fly for the Jan. 14 night training mission.
