Lots of sky to get lost in in SW Idaho and not many obvious landmarks to use for positioning either.   Those teams are supposed to have a set pattern rehearsed over and over, so one ship mu st have  got lost in space.   Luck was with the  crew underneath....could have been trapped or ejecting into debris!... Maybe Marines shouldn't be using Growlers for  flight demos!!

How many flight hours?

Flight hours doing what?

How many flight hours in the last year? Last 6 months? Past month?

What was the pre-brief for this mission?

Did the flight plan include maneuver prep?

Were both pilots safety briefed together, prior to flying to the destination?

If these aircraft are indeed Growlers, $137 million dollars down the drain, plus the compressed spines of 4 aviators (compressed spine mentioned, because I have a compressed spine . . . self-centric comment from prior naive nugget experience, but my heart goes out to all 4).

Oh, my,

Andy
