…cause of mechanical glitch under investigation<\/strong> An F\/A-18F Super Hornet strike fighter assigned to the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan suffered what authorities say was a \u201cmechanical issue\u201d during \u201croutine operations\u201d on Monday over the Philippine Sea, forcing the crew to eject.<\/p>\n A search and rescue MH-60S Seahawk from the \u201cGolden Falcons\u201d of Helicopter Sea Combat Squadron 12 retrieved the Carrier Air Wing 5 crew, and medical personnel aboard the Reagan pronounced both aviators to be in \u201cgood condition,\u201d according to the Japan-based 7th Fleet.<\/p>\n Officials said that the carrier had resumed normal operations and the crash is under investigation.<\/p>\n The F\/A-18F is the two-seat variant for the Super Hornet.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Not the E Ticket ride I would want to take. The good news is both were recovered. A large part of that outcome is the emergency radios and other signaling devices that were available to them, and they were trained to use. Its a very big ocean, SAR crews need all the help they can get for a sucessful rescue.
