A Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet crashed into the North Arabian Sea today, according to the Pentagon Channel, near the aircraft carrier USS Eisenhower.
A Navy news release reports the two crew members safely ejected from the jet:
Search and Rescue (SAR) swimmers from an SH-60F of HS-5 "Night Dippers" recovered the two aircrew and safely delivered them back to the carrier.
The F/A-18F crew is part of the Jolly Rogers of Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 103, based at NAS Oceana in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
