A US Navy jet crashed Sunday night southwest of NAS Kingsville, Texas, the Navy announced Monday. Both pilots of the T-45C Goshawk, assigned to Training Squadron 21, ejected safely, according to a news release. The crash occurred during a routine training mission, and the cause is under investigation. The services have been hit by a number of jet mishaps in recent months. Just over a week ago, a Navy F/A-18C Hornet crashed near NAS Fallon, Nev.
The Pentagon's list of 14 top technology priorities has been slimmed to six, to ensure they get the attention they need, Defense Research and Engineering director Emil Michael announced. Changes may be coming in authorities for funding them, as well.
