I saw something indicating that the pilot had chest pains that caused the crash and had just received the vaccine/booster and that the pilot specifically linked the two things.

Has anyone else seen that? Or is it just a bogus internet rumor?

Glad to see that in addition to all of the recent mishaps aboard the Carl Vinson that invlovled an engine fire aboard an F/A-18, a helicopter's dipping sonar array being lost, and the F-35 fantail strike, that the Captain takes OpSec by his crew very seriously - NOT.

The Captain of the Carl Vinson may want to consider his near-term future employment options.

Landing on a carrier is hard, and no matter how much tech is added it will always be hard.

The Captain is in charge of the ship.
Now, the Air Wing Commander might be in a little trouble

It looks like it could’ve been a lot worse.

I sympathize with such captains more and more. Between "woke" psychopathic nonsense and Branch Covidianism, these captains are not in charge of anything. They can't hire and fire anyone under their command of protected identities. They're told to pad reports on incompetent tokens. They're dealing with recruiting and retention issues for anyone with talent.

I witnessed more than one O-6 who cited staffing gaps as a huge factor in putting in for retirement.

They are hiding something. The pilot must be a protected species or a female.

Oh grow up. Nice thing to joke about.

What the hell has happened to FR posters who now take shots at the military - involved in a crash?

Possibly, it was a woman at the controls (I believe)...

I have no idea if this is a legitimate news source, that’s why I asked if anyone might have seen any reliable reporting on this possible aspect.

Really? You have no idea if Real Raw News is legitimate?

That reports that Dick Cheney has been hanged at GITMO?

https://realrawnews.com/2022/01/dick-cheney-hanged-at-gitmo/

And that Hillary Clinton has been hanged? And President Bush has been hanged?

Try being a little more intellectually curious, instead of blindly posting links to FAKE NEWS.

When was the last time the Navy announced the name of a pilot in a crash when the pilot wasn't killed?
