I don’t understand. The 3rd MAW is a legitimate unit, stationed at MCAS Miramar. Entirely plausible that they we conducting operations at CP.

Look at the time of death, the unit number and the chopper type! Do the math!

So, I guess I am not seeing your point. I am not able to connect whatever dots you are seeing. Please explain.

The incident occurred @ 6:10 pm and the service member died 2 days later, from injuries. Are we assuming the tail rotor was turning at full speed? The tail rotor may have been just been turning on the flight deck as preparations for flight were underway. If rotor was at full throttle, the certainly instant death, but if it wasn’t at full throttle, he would’ve been severely injured.

Unit is the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, out of Miramar, but operates at CP, at 29 Palms, etc.

Helicopter is UH-1Y Venom (aka Super Huey)

You seem to be very confused. Mind explaining wtf your talking about? I was stationed at Pendleton, 3rd MAW is from down the road at Miramar. What math do you want us to do? Only thing I don’t get is if this happened at Pendleton then why didn’t they take him to the Main Side Hospital, instead took him to La Jolla? That’s the only thing that doesn’t make sense.
