I googled it. Best not to be around him when he is flying.

McCain did lose two Navy aircraft while piloting them.
One crash was found to be be McCain’s fault, the other due to an engine failure of undetermined cause..
A third was destroyed on the deck of the carrier USS Forrestal when a missile fired accidentally from another plane hit either the plane next to McCain’s or, less likely, his own aircraft, triggering a disastrous fire that killed 134 sailors and nearly killed McCain.
A fourth plane was lost when he was shot down over North Vietnam on a bombing mission over Hanoi.
A fifth alleged “crash” turns out to be a misinterpretation of a flight accident that did not result in the loss of the aircraft. McCain admitted to causing that incident through “daredevil clowning” but returned safely.
McStain should have washed out of flight school, but since his daddy was a admiral they kept him. IIRC he was shot down on his first mission
