November 12, 20232 yr https://www.foxnews.com/politics/us-military-aircraft-crashes-mediterranean-sea-after-training-mishap-no-indication-hostile-activity Interesting that they haven’t even released which aircraft it was. They usually get that info out fast. Is it me or is the military being “tight lipped” a little out of the ordinary? Anybody have unclass intel on this?
November 12, 20232 yr I see plane spotters reporting a p-8 and C-17 were also in the area at the time. Hopefully we'll get more info soon. Prayers upSent from my SM-S918U1 using Baseops Network mobile app

November 12, 20232 yr https://x.com/lucasfoxnews/status/1723803651473297412?s=46&t=9pVj6flBB_vLdsN46i_EMASent from my iPhone using Baseops Network mobile app Sounds like it was the 160th

Tracking the Navy also has MH-60’s that do SOF support, but they don’t do HAAR and all the links said it was during an air refueling event. You hit the nail on the head with the last line though brother. I was selfishly hoping there’d be minimal chance I knew those involved. Not great odds now.

Sister ship was on point or there was a ship right there at the time. Water recovery at night like that is impressive. Edited November 13, 20232 yr by uhhello

I hope more data gets made public as there's a super brave dude on sister ship.
