Been a bad week for the Navy. Lost three aircraft I believe. No fatalities thank Heavens.

Excuse my ignorance, but is there such a thing as a one-seat training jet?

The one that went down at RDU is still laying crumbled by the tarmac here in Raleigh, NC.

Perhaps the pilot was engaged in some low level "training" on his way home. I've seen quite a few combat jets flying low over lakes. They are good landmarks to key on for navigation, and they tend to be away from populated areas, at least when the summertime tourists are not around. There are an abundance of high tension power lines crossing most lakes, however, which can really sneak up on a pilot not familiar with the area, especially at fighter jet speeds.

This may answer the question as to why my dog started to go nuts. She is 11 and never, I mean never, went nuts before like she did last night. She barked and howled (No matter how many times I told her to shut up) I finally had to get up and go outside with her to look around) I live in the East TN area.
