       Anyone see a lost F/A-18 wandering around the Red Sea? I'm afraid it can't swim. 😟 https://apnews.com/article/aircraft-carrier-fighter-jet-truman-cfeaecc314bfcaf85ce5c30038306ac3#aviation #military

       @ai6yr Its a wild story right? Apparently they lost the tow tractor as well. The thing that stands out for me is that you can yank so hard on the tiller of an aircraft carrier that it will fling 10 tons of airplane and tractor over the side.And they did **that** because the Houthi's had sent a missile inbound that the CWIS apparently couldn't deal with (and presumably none of the Aegis cruisers that are part of a carrier task force could either). Which makes one wonder what the Houthis knew.
