Navy F/A-18 Hornets Crash in Pacific Ocean

WESTERN PACIFIC OCEAN (NNS) -- Two F/A-18 Hornets from Carrier Air Wing 17 embarked on the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson (CVN 70) crashed at 5:40 p.m. local time, today, while operating at sea in the western Pacific Ocean. The initial report is that the two aircraft are assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron 94 (VFA-94) and Strike Fighter Squadron 113 (VFA-113).

One pilot was rapidly located and returned to Carl Vinson, and is currently receiving medical attention. Search efforts continue for the second pilot.

Two crashing at once , whats the probability of that ? unless its a mid air collision . Besides would we need an investigation of two aircrafts collided , i mean would you not know it instantly ?

Most likely a formation mid air collision.... just a few seconds of inattention will do it.

there is a level of "Chut!y@pp@"..you're beyond of it..

1. Indian Army doesn't operate jet fighters.
2.F-18 was out of the race of MMRCA long long ago.Rafale got selected,if you don't know.

A smart *** student may more likely collide with a smart *** instructor during dog fight maneuvers....not a big issue ...it happens ...!
