F/A 18 Fighter Jet Crashes Into The Sea

This is not the news you want to hear on the day we celebrate Veterans’ Day…

Fortunately, it appears everyone is safe.

According to Fox News:

Two U.S. fighter pilots were rescued Monday after their F/A 18 fighter jet crashed in the Philippine Sea, the Navy said in a statement.

Scary stuff.

The Navy statement said some kind of mechanical issue occurred and forced the pilots to eject.

“The crew was immediately and safely recovered by USS Ronald Reagan search and rescue aircraft and brought back to the ship,” the statement read. The aircraft carrier has resumed its normal operations.

The pilots were in good condition and the crash is being investigated.

I’m glad to hear everyone is safe and sound!

And because I KNOW everyone is curious:

Ok… that thing is pretty bad a$$.
