A U.S. Army HU-1A helicopter crashed at 1105 hours on 9 June 1960 while on a tactical mission. The crash site was in a mountainous area on the Fort Carson Military Reservation near Butts Army Airfield, Fort Carson, Colorado. One crew member and three passengers were aboard the aircraft at the time of the accident. The pilot and the occupant in the copilot's seat sustained spinal strains while the other two occupants received strains, abrasions, and cuts. The aircraft was examined at the crash site, and photographs of the wreckage and of all essential components and equipment were obtained during the course of the investigation. (Author)
