US Navy grounds all F/A-18, E/A-18 fighter jets

‘The US Navy has grounded all of its F/A-18 Super Hornet and E/A-18 Growler fighter jets after an incident that injured two over the weekend.
The temporary order was issued on Friday, when a Navy Growler assigned to Electronic Attack Squadron 132 sustained heavy damages and injured both of its aircrew during what officials called an “on-deck emergency,” according to Navy spokeswoman Commander Jeanette D. Groeneveld.
The mishap took place before an 11 am takeoff at the Whidbey Island air station on Puget Sound, Washington. The Navy refused to disclose the extent of the injuries the airmen had suffered.
The Navy had to ground all Super Hornets and Growlers because they rely on the same avionics, Vice Admiral Mike Shoemaker, commander of Naval Air Forces on North Island, said.’
