The second fighter flight beam plunges into the sea after landing the failure on USS Harry S. Truman

For the second time in eight days, a fighter plane in the Red Sea was lost after going on Tuesday from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier, two US officials NBC News said.

There were only minor injuries after the two-seater F/A-18F Super Hornet left the deck from the deck when it ended up on Tuesday (early afternoon ET) and came into the sea, the official said.

One of the officials said the two aviators on board the landing that failed after the failed landing, in which the plane could not catch the wire, which was called “failed arrest”. The incident is examined.

An official said that due to the first reporting, the tail hook does not connect the wire that slows down the plane, which continued to accelerate towards the arch and went into the water.

It was an F/A-18f, the officials said. A little more than a week ago, another fighter plane, a $ 67 million F/A-18E, was lost by Harry S. Truman.

This Super Hornet, together with the towing tractor that was drawn, fell off the ship on April 28, said the office of the navy in Bahrain said in a statement. It “was actively under the tow in Hangar Bay when the Move crew lost control of the plane,” said the navy.

An investigation is underway, it said.
