ai generated text
Two aviators have been declared dead following the crash of an EA-18G Growler jet east of Mount Rainier during a training flight. The wreckage of the plane was located by an aerial crew at an altitude of approximately 6,000 feet on Wednesday, after search teams launched from NAS Whidbey Island the previous day. The crew members who died in the crash were from the Electronic Attack Squadron 130, and their loss has been mourned by colleagues, with a commander describing them as "beloved Zappers".
It is with a heavy heart that we share the loss of two beloved Zappers.
Our priority right now is taking care of the families of our fallen aviators, and ensuring the well-being of our sailors and the Growler community. We are grateful for the ongoing teamwork to safely recover the deceased.
