Military aircraft were searching the seas off Hawaii for five crewmembers of a US Army helicopter that went missing earlier in the week, the Army said Thursday. The UH-60 helicopter was reported missing while conducting a night-time training exercise Tuesday evening off the island of Oahu. It had been taking part in a mission with another helicopter when it disappeared from radio and visual contact.
A search for the missing two pilots and three crewmembers was under way with aircraft from the Army, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.
