The US Navy's Pacific fleet has just announced two fighter jets crashes.
Accordingly, a MH-60R Seahawk helicopter on the payroll of the 73rd "Battle Cats" Maritime Assault Helicopters (HSM) crashed at around 2:45 p.m. on October 26 " while performing normal operations from the aircraft carrier USS Nimitz". The US Navy said search and rescue teams rescued three crew members.
As soon as the MH-60R Seahawk helicopter crashed, at 15,15 p.m. the same day, an F/A-18F Super Hornet fighter jet of the 22nd "Fighting Redcocks" Assault Helicopters Squadron (VFA) also crashed while performing regular operations from the Nimitz ship. The US Navy said that both crew members successfully parachuted and were rescued safely.
The two US Navy plane crashes in the East Sea on October 26 occurred after the US Navy lost two Super Hornet aircraft in the Red Sea this spring. According to the US Navy, an F/A-18 fighter jet costs more than $60 million.
The USS Nimitz, one of the world's largest warships, is the oldest US aircraft carrier in operation and will be taken off the list next year.
