… while attempting to land, rotor wash caused items to blow away from the local distribution set up by a group of civilians in the area. The crew immediately identified the situation, aborted the landing for safety reasons, and departed the area.Remember that video of a Blackhawk helicopter rotor washing a civilian supply drop scattering supplies everywhere?

This incident is currently under investigation and the crew has been grounded until the investigation is complete. The NCNG is working with the identified local civilian organization to assess the level of damage caused by the rotor wash.
Safety is the NCNG’s number one priority, especially with the high volume of air operations currently happening across the region. While the NCNG strives for precision in every mission, sometimes things don’t go as planned.
When that happens, the NCNG takes it very seriously and are committed to addressing and correcting any issues to prevent future occurrences.
From Facebook: Military chopper turned off transponder before blasting a Burnsville donation site with rotor downwash. This chopper disarranged the Cajun navy supply camp and actually went off radar to do so. pic.twitter.com/ZeylWWvkVQ
