Four US Army aviators were killed when two helicopters crashed on a training exercise at the Joint Base Lewis-McChord near Tacoma, Washington late yesterday.



A military spokesman said the circumstances of the crash remain unclear and an investigation is underway.



He said the victims will not be identified until their families are notified.



A Black Hawk helicopter from the Army portion of the same base crashed during a training mission in December 2006, killing all three aboard.
