Since its now in the news I can tell you that an F/A-18 crashed near the Philippines today. The pilot is in fine health for ejecting at several hundred miles an hour excreting nearly 12gs on his body upon ejection. The plane well yeah its gone. We are now one plane short here aboard the USS Carl Vinson. By the way where exactly is this "armada" its pretty quiet out here. 73 from the USS Carl Vinson.
