HONOLULU (AP) – A civilian contractor working for the U.S. Navy has released the names of four employees killed when their helicopter crashed on the Hawaii island of Kauai.
Oregon-based Croman Corp. says 64-year-old Daniel Maurice of Lyle, Washington, was the aircraft’s chief pilot.
Also on board were three Kauai residents: Command Pilot Patrick Rader and two mechanics, Ericka Tevez-Valdez and Matthew Haider.
Croman says the crew was conducting routine training operations at the Pacific Missile Range Facility under contract with the Navy when their Sikorsky S-61N helicopter crashed Tuesday.
The National Transportation Safety Board is investigating.
