Lol a other plane crash?

Its almost like someone fired all the competent staff and now there are lots of staffing issues and poorly trained people remaining...

“The jet is used to jam enemy radar and communication”

Someone hit ‘em with a Return to Sender…?

Several military jets crashing near airports after pilots punch out directly over airfields claiming total hydraulic failure, strange they all were able to maintain their true coarse over airport with no hydraulics "right".

Out of fuel? Couldn’t make the go around? Seems like they know what happened but are waiting to tell us?

[michaelangelos]

I was sailing right there just the other day.
Could have easily been point Loma or Ob.

Interesting how she says they "felt" they needed to eject. Hello, the military does not spend millions of dollars on the best training in the world for these University graduate pilots that are, without a doubt, the best in the world, flying multi million dollar equipment, and then advise them to act on their emotions. As a military veteran myself, I can guarantee the only thing they were feeling was the physical impact of that experience, and probably not until later after they had a chance to slow down at the hospital. Nope, they did not "feel" they should do anything. They decided, or were required. Surely, they made very rational and educated decisions rooted in concepts such as facts, knowledge, and pure reason.

Only @ 5% of Navy pilots return to full flying duty after an ejection.

Everyone is interested in the price of this thing.... 67 million. Every report seems to tell the cost. 67.... hmmm.

[USkeZBmpyAMCV]

Time to hold Trump accountable for plane crashes.

[mikalblake]

My tinfoil hat theory is there’s a new weapon that’s frying aircraft electrical or mechanical systems

[makotonarukami]

67 a waste....give that to homeless and Drug Addiction programs.

[craigarvizu]

[RSCamaroBlack]

ABC always telling the news of how it “could” have been, but wasn’t. Waste of time.

[JahGotWings]

70 million dollars down the drain. Ocean drain …
