Earlier this year, one flight crew member was killed and two more were injured after a U.S. Navy E-2D Hawkeye crashed off the coast of Virginia.
The E-2D tactical airborne early warning (AEW) aircraft crashed near NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Chincoteague, Virginia. According to previous local public safety radio, emergency responders said they had recovered two passengers at the scene in the water with injuries. Those two passengers were recovered via boat and transported to the hospital. At least one of the two passengers was reported to have broken legs.
