Hmm. 3 in a week is a problem. Looks like a grounding soon, I guess. Might have a negative effect in Iraq, depending on how many of them are in use there. If any. I assume they're doing some kind of air patrols, though.

No impact on Iraq, of course. But, this trend is totally unsatisfactory -- whether pilot error (which I suspect) or possibly, but not too likely - "mechanical."

The Navy Accident Boards are very thorough -- and the cause or causes will be found -- sooner rather than later.

In case you are wondering -- I've "been there; done that", in spades.

Further, Type Commanders may have to ground the Lant, Mar, and Res "type" flying until a "safety stand down" is conducted -- to collectively re-think procedures, etc.
Kindest regards.
