Day to Day
The first loss was totally stupid. Hangar deck crew lost control of the cart pushing the aircraft onto the elevator and pushed it off.Navy losing two fucking Jets. This is a pretty big deal, and I am certain there are a lot of asses getting chewed out.
The second lass was the aircraft missed the wire and instead of powering up, tried to brake and went off the angle. That sounds like a pilot error or an engine malfunction. 99% of wire misses result in thrusting and getting back into a pattern to attempt another landing. No way in hell brakes can stop a jet on a carrier deck.
