The deaths of six Marines in a midair collision off the coast of Japan in December 2018 has spurred changes in Marine aviation, including shifts in tracking training, increasing manpower and improving maintenance as well as fielding a commercial beacon as a temporary fix for finding downed aviators at sea.

But even the top Marine aviator admitted to Congress that those moves fall short of fixing problems that led to Marine deaths.

And more may be revealed when an additional investigation concludes in the coming months.
