Two Navy fighter jets crashed into the Pacific Ocean on Thursday evening, according to the Defense Department.
The pilot of one of the planes, both F-18 Hornets, was rescued and taken back to the carrier Carl Vinson to receive medical attention. Search and rescue teams were still looking for the pilot of the second plane.
Neither plane has been recovered yet, the Navy said in a statement. The two planes were “operating at sea in the western Pacific Ocean” when they crashed.
“The cause of the incident is still under investigation,” the Navy statement said.
