Two Fort Hood Pilots Lost in Apache Crash | Durham News

Two Fort Hood Apache pilots are dead after their helicopter crashed during a test flight in central Texas — Chief Warrant Officer Deontre T. Huey and Warrant Officer Seth L. Olmstead. The Army is withholding details on the cause as an investigation led by the Combat Readiness Center gets underway. Both were part of the first Air Cavalry Brigade, and their loss has deeply affected the military community. This tragedy follows past disasters at Fort Hood, including a 2015 Black Hawk crash and a 2016 flash flood that claimed nine lives. The AH-64 Apache, a mainstay since the 80s, continues to serve — but this crash raises urgent questions about safety and readiness.
