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.
