Title: F-18 Jet Crash, Navy Still Hasn't Paid for Blowing Up My Apartment

The U.S. Navy has not forked over a single cent to one of the men whose apartment was obliterated in last week's F-18 crash ... so says the man himself ... who's now considering legal action.

TMZ spoke with Colby Smith -- who rushed out of his apartment and helped save one of the pilots from the wreckage following Friday's crash in Virginia.

Colby tells us, the Navy agreed to pay for a hotel room for him and his family after the disaster -- but this morning, the hotel kicked 'em out ... because the Navy hadn't paid.

Colby says his fam had to shell out $400 for the room ... and will be changing hotels tonight. So far, we're told the Navy still hasn't sent a check.

According to Colby, the Navy also agreed to cover all damages stemming from the accident -- but a government rep said it could take up to 2 years before that payment is processed.

Colby tells us a 2 year wait is unacceptable ... and has already met with a lawyer in the hopes of expediting the process.

As for daily expenses -- we're told the Navy is paying out $89 per person per day for lodging, $30 per day for food, and $200 TOTAL for clothing.

Calls to the Navy were not returned.

You`d be bitching either way because you would probably say they are overpaying these people if they cut a check within 24 hours.

If this would have happenned in a foreign country, they would fork over millions to individuals.

Notify you congressman.

Accidents happen when you operate thousands of fighters.
Not avoidable.

USA has IMO mastered the safety of their flights and machines. Gotta give them props for that. Right culture.
But accidents still occur. Many factors that can go wrong.
