The U S Army grounded its UH-60 Blackhawk and AH-64 Apache fleets after incidents this week affecting about 700 Blackhawks and 70 Apaches. Investigations point to mechanical issues in the Apache flight control and a Fort Rucker crash tied to a main rotor blade spindle. Grounding may last until inspections and safety directives are completed.
