A Navy EA-18G Growler aircraft crashed Tuesday afternoon in Washington state during a training flight, and the status of the two crew members was unknown, according to the Navy.

An update from the Navy on the search, released at 11 a.m. Wednesday Pacific time, said that "neither the crew nor wreckage has been located" and noted that “responders are facing mountainous terrain, cloudy weather, and low visibility as the search is ongoing.”
 
The Navy said in an earlier statement that the Growler belonged to Electronic Attack Squadron 130 based out of Naval Air Station Whidbey Island in the state. The base scrambled "multiple search and rescue assets, including a U.S. Navy MH-60S helicopter ... to locate the crew and examine the crash site," shortly after the crash.

US Navy locates deceased Growler crew after crash near Washington’s Mount Rainier

By Anna King (Northwest News Network)
Oct. 21, 2024 2:56 p.m.

The two dead crew members of a missing US Navy plane – the EA-18G Growler – near Mount Rainier were named on Monday morning. Lt. Cmdr. Lyndsay P. Evans, 31, was a Naval flight officer from California. Lt. Serena N. Wileman, 31, was also a Naval aviator from California. Both crew members died in the crash.
 

The Navy says Evans enlisted in August 2010 and Wileman enlisted in July 2018. Both were stationed with the Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 130 on Whidbey Island.

The search has shifted to recovery operations after the crash Tuesday, Oct. 15.

“It is with a heavy heart that we share the loss of two beloved Zappers,” said Cmdr. Timothy Warburton, commanding officer of Electronic Attack Squadron (VAQ) 130 in a press release. “Our priority right now is taking care of the families of our fallen aviators, and ensuring the well-being of our Sailors and the Growler community. We are grateful for the ongoing teamwork to safely recover the deceased.”
