Not sure why it's "crashes" instead of "crashed".

I remember when Pensacola NAS had a football team and their mascot was the Goshawk whatever that is. Roger Staubach was the backup QB. Also Eglin AFB had a team called the Eglin Ealges.

I guess military bases no longer have them.

The T-45C Goshawk is a tandem-seat, carrier capable, jet trainer whose mission is to train Navy and Marine Corps pilots and naval flight officers.

The Navy and Marine Corps do not have "pilots." They have AVIATORS.

What back-desk journalista pogue wrote this? He/she ought to be flogged around the fleet.

Well well, looks like these guys are well on their way to building a presidential resume...

All levity aside, glad it appears they weren’t injured seriously.

And NACES saves more aviators!
