Last month, a Marine Corps KC-130J refueling aircraft and an F-35B Joint Strike Fighter collided during an air-to-air refueling mission in California, causing the stealth jet to crash. All nine personnel -- one in the F-35B and eight in the KC-130J tanker -- were found safe after that mishap.

In August, two Navy pilots and two crewmembers safely bailed out of an E-2C Hawkeye aircraft before it crashed in Virginia during a training flight.

All absolutely unrelated. Do these guys get paid by the word when they write their articles?

I suspect the slant is that the Military is expensive and we should defund them. These planes that are crashing were a waste of money anyway.

I detest journalists.
