Ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking. We have a small problem.
All four engines have stopped. We are doing our damnedest to get them under control.

So sorry about the pilots....prayers are with you and whole Lemoore base.
I have a friend who is Hornet/Super Hornet pilot and two pilots from yesterdays crash are members of his team :(( He couldn't say anything about the crash etc and everyone is shocked right now.
