Camp Lejeune - Six members of the US military were rescued and two were treated for minor injuries after a marine helicopter crashed in Kenya, the marines said on Monday.
The crash occurred near Manda Bay, Kenya, where members of the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit were taking part in an exercise with the Kenyan military.
Officials said the UH-1N Huey was from Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 264, which is based at Marine Corps Air Station New River, next to Camp Lejeune.
It was assigned to the 26th Marine Expeditionary Unit, which left North Carolina in January.
The accident's cause is being investigated. _________________ Serving the Civil Helo Industry - www.heliopsmag.com
