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.

Here is one of the hornets from VFA-122, picture taken at Nellis AFB in 2010
