Seven sailors were injured Monday when a F-35C Joint Strike Fighter jet suffered a “landing mishap” on the deck of the aircraft carrier Carl Vinson, the latest in a string of aviation accidents to plague the carrier’s air wing during its current West Pacific deployment.
The jet was conducting routine flight operations in the South China Sea Monday when the mishap occurred, according to a Navy statement.
The pilot safely ejected from the stealth fighter and was rescued by a military helicopter, the Navy said.
