Pilot blamed in jet's crash on carrier
The San Diego Union-Tribune has obtained a report on the crash of a VFA-25 F/A-18C BuNo. 164642 on board USS Ronald Reagan at 11:15 p.m., Jan. 28, 2006. This Flash video was converted from the Real Video version on the Union-Tribune's website.
The pilot was an S-3 transition first tour LT with 242 hours in the Hornet including 24 night traps.
The 33-year-old pilot had flown little since the Reagan left San Diego on its maiden combat deployment Jan. 4, 2006. This was considered a factor in the investigation report.
