Good to read that the pilot walked away from this.
166466 is a F/A-18F as far as I'm aware.

Official USN reports 166466 which is wrong.
More likely the mean 166446/NG-210.

Normaly that site is accurate, although sometimes they make an error.
Like in the past has happened, they probably change the buno to the correct one with their next update.
