I’m hearing that it was off the southeast coast of Japan and the planes were flying out of the Marine Corps Air Station in Iwakuni.
Japanese Defense Forces recovered the two pilots, but the five member Marine refueling crew are still missing.
Not sure what the weather conditions are.
That is still amazing news. Our relationship with Japan, overall, is so much improved.
For all the heinous crap they pulled in WWII, I do love their country and culture.
