Army Chief Warrant Officer Four Daniel S. Scott was assigned to Co. B, 4th Bn, 228th Avn. Regt. in Honduras. On Jan. 2, 1991, he was the pilot in command of a UH-1H helicopter that was shot down near Lolotique in eastern El Salvador by small arms fire from Marxist Salvadoran guerrillas known as the Farabundo Marti National Liberation Front (FMLN). The crew were enroute back to Soto Cano Airbase in Honduras after dropping another officer off in San Salvador. CW4 Scott died on the controls in the crash landing, saving copilot Lt. Col. David Pickett and Pvt. 1st Class Earnest G. Dawson. Despite surviving the crash, Pickett and Dawson were captured and shot to death by the guerillas shortly afterwards.

The Army posthumously awarded CW4 Scott with the Purple Heart and the Armed Forces Expeditionary Medal.
