NAVAL SUPPORT ACTIVITY, Bahrain
A US Navy F/A-18F Super Hornet fighter jet crashed into the sea after its engine failed.
The jet was operating from USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) aircraft carrier in the North Arabian Sea.
Search and Rescue (SAR) swimmers from an SH-60F helicopter of HS-5 "Night Dippers" recovered the two aircrew and safely delivered them back to the carrier.
The two aircrew, from VFA-103 "Jolly Rogers" based in Virginia Beach, Virginia, safely ejected from their jet when it incurred an engine failure at 12:20 p.m. local time.
Eisenhower is homeported in Norfolk, Virginia, and is on a scheduled deployment to the U.S. 5th Fleet area of responsibility conducting maritime security operations and theater security cooperation efforts.
On April 3, an US Air Force F-16 Fighting Falcon jet crashed killing its pilot, near Bagram Airfield, Afghanistan.
