<p>&#8220;Friday&#8217;s incident marks the fourth Super Hornet crash since 2019. In 2019, one crash resulted in the death of the pilot and minor injuries to seven civilians who were hit by debris when they gathered at a scenic route to watch the fighter jets,&#8221; The Washington Examiner <a href="https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/identity-revealed-of-navy-fighter-pilot-who-died-in-crash" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>.</p>
<p>&#8220;A crash in 2020, and one last October, resulted in both pilots safely ejecting from their planes during training missions,&#8221; <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/pilot-killed-navy-jet-fighter-crash-california-desert-rcna32109" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-t="{&quot;n&quot;:&quot;destination&quot;,&quot;t&quot;:13,&quot;b&quot;:1,&quot;c.t&quot;:7}">according</a> to NBC News. &#8220;One landed in Death Valley National Park, while the other landed in the Mojave Desert,&#8221; the report added.</p>
<p>In March, a Navy plane also crashed off the coast of Virginia, killing one person and injuring two others.</p>
<p>&#8220;The E-2D crashed at approximately 7:30 p.m. Two crew members were rescued by Maryland State Police and transported to Wallops Island for follow-on medical treatment for non-life threatening injuries. The names of injured crewmembers will not be released due to privacy concerns,&#8221; the Navy initially <a href="https://www.airlant.usff.navy.mil/Press-Room/News-Stories/Article/2984054/norfolk-based-e-2-hawkeye-crashes-two-injured-one-fatality/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">reported</a>. &#8220;Unfortunately, the third crew member was found deceased in the aircraft.&#8221;</p>
<p>Four U.S. Marines were also killed in an Osprey <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/four-u-s-marines-killed-in-norway-nato-training-identified" target="_blank" rel="noopener">helicopter crash</a> during a NATO training exercise in Norway in March.</p>
<p>The Marine Corps revealed the identities of the four men in a <a href="https://news.usni.org/2022/03/18/officials-marine-mv-22b-crashes-in-arctic-norway-rescue-teams-unable-to-reach-crash-site-by-air" target="_blank" rel="noopener">statement</a> as Cpl.

Reynolds, 27, of Leominster, Massachusetts.</p>
<p>The four Marines served in the “Raging Bulls” of Medium Tiltrotor Squadron (VMM) 261 stationed at Marine Corps Air Station in New River, North Carolina.</p>
<p>The four men were reported missing after failing to report back following a training mission in northern Norway, according to the statement. The incident involved an MV-22B Osprey.</p>
