Two 25th Infantry Division aviators were killed March 5 1996 in the afternoon when their OH-58D Kiowa Warrior helicopter crashed in flames at Wheeler Army Airfield near Schofield Barracks, Oahu, Hawaii. The pilot and co-pilot of an AH-1 Cobra gunship were killed at Schofield Barracks when the craft’s engine failed.
They were the only two soldiers aboard the two-seat, 42-foot-long helicopter when it executed a “hard landing” about 3:30 p.m. while conducting a general maintenance test flight, Army officials said
