A second U.S. Army jet from the USS Harry S. Truman aircraft carrier has been lost in the Red Sea, the second jet to be lost from the carrier in just eight days, sources have said.
The pilot and weapons systems officer were forced to eject after officials said the F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter jet’s tail hook failed to catch the stopping wire at 9:45 p.m. Tuesday and suffered an arrestment failure as it attempted to land on the carrier.
