LOS ANGELES — The Navy grounded its Air Forces on Monday for a "safety pause" in the wake of multiple military aircraft crashes this month in California, two of which were fatal.
The first crash was reported June 3 near Trona in San Bernardino County and involved a F/A-18E Super Hornet. The pilot, Lt. Richard Bullock, was killed.
On June 8, an MV-22B Osprey from the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing crashed in Imperial County near the Arizona border, killing all five Marines on board.
