A pilot was rescued after a U.S. Navy F/A-18E Super Hornet crashed into ocean waters off the coast of Virginia on Wednesday morning, officials said.

This marks the sixth F-18 that the Navy has lost in the last ten months.

In October 2024, two pilots were killed when an EA-18G Growler, a variant of the F/A-18E Super Hornet, crashed near Washington state's Mount Rainier, also during a routine training flight.

The one that fell off an aircraft carrier that was doing evasive manoeuvres was the most remarkable. An expensive 10 months for the taxpayer

Just bite the bullet and move to the People's Republic of China. You'll finally be happy and cease whining on here.

First of all, how do you fit "ocean waters off the coast of Virginia" into a kitchen?  ;D

My guess - GUESS - is that there has been an increase in military and ship movements.  We lost about as many military personnel from movements as from battle in the first Persian gulf war.
