Geesh...F18s are dropping like flies. I work in RTP, just a few miles from the RDU airport, and we had one crash while trying to take off the other day.

What's up with this?

(I'm practicing the art of ducking!)

Maybe it's related to this:

  Arabic posting:  "Tomorrow you will watch the destruction of an American Aircraft Carrier"  Within the past half hour, a posting was made on an Arabic language jihad forum that has proven credible in the past.

"What's up with this? "

Maybe it's time to check the maintennance crew. Could be coincidence...but then again it could be sabatoge. I seem to remember learning that out military has been infiltrated by muslims. Remember the American soldier who lobbed a couple of hand grenades into our tent in Iraq?

Expect the Navy to issue a general order, ground all jets, do inspections (and FOD walks) and talks about safety for the next 24-48 hours.

The jet that went down a few miles off the coast here
in San Diego was seen by many on the beaches. A tourist
took home movies of it skimming across the water.
Everyone is OK.

San Diego was an F-14
