Oh, that’s not good at all.

Why does the military have their aircraft fly in such close formation all the time? Seems to me it’s just asking for trouble.

May they all survive. Horrible.

On a snarky note....were they carrying any birth certificates?

How many 53’s we got left? How many at the most, and when? About.

Crouching in a dark field in NC, totally silent, then watching a 53 come down into an LZ was an amazing experience. Like the mothership descending.

They are a beautiful sight. This one flew right over while I was sitting on the porch.

Don't know if you can read it but it says "Marines" on the side. It was heading SW, probably to Pensacola, maybe Eglin.

Hope for the best but fear it is bad.

A very sad loss. Formation flying is always a difficult air maneuver and at night even more difficult. They do it to reduce the radar signature, but it’s so sad when it goes wrong. May God welcome these brave Marines into Paradise and may he comfort the families of those lost or hurt.

Why was this removed from BN sidebar? I know it happened 12 hrs ago. But don’t think it had been posted.

Silly polls are sidebar worthy. But 12 likely dead Marines are not?

SMH.

“spotted less than 3 miles off the coast, near the town of Haleiwa,”

This was the location of the auxiliary airfield where a few fighters took off during Pearl Harbor. American kids still risking their lives there day and night, whether we always know it or not.

I said this in a previous post about a helicopter crash in Afghanistan. It seems to me we have not advanced in helicopter design to make these machines more resistant to being shot down and also more survivable - maybe a way to make the passenger bay more robust that can cushion a rough landing better. It just seems a waste to lose so many good men and women in helicopter crashes.

A lot of good people out there looking out for our interests.

Sorry to hear about incidents like this.

My thoughts are with these people.
