President Plane Crash Loses An F-18

USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) lost an F/A-18E Super Hornet assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 136 and a tow tractor as the aircraft carrier operated in the Red Sea, April 28. All personnel are accounted for, with one Sailor sustaining a minor injury. The F/A-18E was actively under tow in the hangar bay when the move crew lost control of the aircraft. The aircraft and tow tractor were lost overboard. Sailors towing the aircraft took immediate action to move clear of the aircraft before it fell overboard. An investigation is underway.

They lost it out of a hangar bay? Don't see that every day.

The F/A-18E Super Hornet fighter costs between $67 million to $73 million, depending on the modifications. And the HST is operating out of the Red Sea to attack the Houthis on behalf of Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu (and sadistic murderer Muhammad Bin Salman). Good thing an American servicemember wasn't killed in the incident.

"Who is pickled pete going to polygraph after this blunder?"

He's hoping a minority was one of the crew.

Reports say the carrier was making evasive maneuvers to avoid Houthi fire at the time. I'm surprised a carrier would get that close.
