SAN DIEGO — The U.S. Navy on Saturday announced a "safety pause" for non-deployed aircraft after a pair of crashes in Southern California during the week.
The Monday pause will give Naval Air Forces, including U.S. Marine Corps aircraft operations, an opportunity to review risk management and implement fresh safety training, U.S. Navy officials said in a statement.
The week's lost aircraft include Wednesday's deadly crash of a U.S. Marine Corps Osprey near Glamis, an area in Imperial County about 150 miles east of San Diego.
Late Friday, U.S. Marine Corps officials identified the deceased: Capt. John J. Sax, 33, of Placer, California; Capt. Nicholas P. Losapio, 31, of Rockingham, New Hampshire; Cpl. Nathan E. Carlson, 21, of Winnebago, Illinois; Cpl. Seth D. Rasmuson, 21, of Johnson, Wyoming; and Lance Cpl. Evan A. Strickland, 19, of Valencia, New Mexico.
