A Mexican military helicopter reported missing and down July 7th was found Saturday, say Mexican press reports.

The Mexican Air Force Bell 206 helicopter was found 97 kilometers southwest of the Guadalajara, Jalisco airport. The aircraft was travelling between Lazaro Cardenas, Michoacan, to the Guadalajara airport carrying two unidentified officers and a soldier.

The Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional (SEDENA) announcement said the aircraft crashed due to adverse weather conditions.

The crash is the second deadly helicopter crash in 20 days. On June 18th a Bell 412 belonging to the Mexican Air Force crashed in Santiago Papasquiaro, Durango claiming 11 soldiers' lives. The cause of that crash was also adverse weather conditions.

Well no, those storms are invisible until you get into them. Or, you're stoopid.
