· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The U.S. Army has ordered a temporary suspension of flight training operations with AH-64 Apache helicopters, according to a statement released Friday afternoon. 'This measure will remain in effect until the underlying cause of the accident is better understood,' the official communication states. The order comes after one of these aircraft crashed near Fort Hood, Texas, last Wednesday. 'The Army deeply regrets the loss of two soldiers in the recent AH-64 Apache helicopter accident,' the institution noted. The AH-64 Apache is a twin-engine, four-blade multi-role attack helicopter designed as a highly stable airborne weapons platform, which the Army describes on its website as 'the most advanced combat aircraft in the world.'
