Two Navy Jet Fighters Collide Off California: "Two advanced U.S. Navy F/A-18F 'Super Hornet' fighter jets apparently collided and crashed into the Pacific Ocean off California on Friday and a massive search was launched for four crewmen, officials said. The aircraft went missing about 80 miles southwest of Monterey, California, during a training flight. There was no immediate indication of the cause of the crash, Navy officials said at the Pentagon. Coast Guard officials in San Francisco said a debris field and oil slick had been located, but there was thus far no sign of survivors."
