I have such a difficult time picturing the mechanics of this terrible event.
They both have the best avionics (I assume). The have eyesight (although at the speeds the FA/18 runs it is split second to go miles).
But still — the sky is so huge.
Was this some sort of waypoint overcrossing?
FR Nav/Milcraft folks?
Not sure which coast, but 2am 12/06/18 Tokyo was raining. Trying to refuel in poor weather.
RIP Marines.
Prayers up for the Marines.
