My daughter is a Marine undergoing avionics training at NAS Pensacola. I'll speak to her tomorrow morning about the accident. The installation must be devastated by the loss.

The description of the way the F-18 abruptly pitched downward at low altitude makes me wonder if there was a catastrophic control surface failure. Stabilator, perhaps?
