Another F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter from the aircraft carrier USS Harry S. Truman was lost in the Red Sea. This is the second loss of an aircraft from an aircraft carrier in a week, five sources familiar with the situation told CNN.
It's not entirely clear what happened as the investigation continues, but two of the people said there was some kind of arrest error when the plane was trying to land on the aircraft carrier, and the pilot and weapons systems officer had to eject. They were picked up by a rescue helicopter, and they are both alive, but suffered minor injuries, one of the people said.
According to two people familiar with the incident, the plane crashed into the sea and has not yet been found.
