The U.S. Army temporarily grounded all AH-64 Apache training flight operations Friday after a crash near Fort Hood, Texas, killed two soldiers. The Army identified the pilots as Chief Warrant Officer 2 Deontre T. Huey, 34, of Killeen, Texas, and Warrant Officer Seth L. Olmstead, 25, of Belton, Texas. Their AH-64E Apache went down Wednesday in a field near Salado during a maintenance test flight. The stand-down will remain in place while investigators determine the crash’s root cause, which has not been released.
