US Navy safety stand down
On 26 october 2020, the Commander Naval Air Forces ordered a safety stand down after two crashes in week 43 of 2020.
All non-deployed aviation units stopped operations on those orders, so Naval Commands and their squadrons were given the opportunity to focus on how to further improve operational risk management and risk mitigation across the Naval Aviation enterprise.
As written in two seperate news reports, an F/A-18E Super Hornet crashed near NAWS China Lake (CA) on 20 October 2020 (pilot safe) and a T-6B Texan II crashed near NAS Pensacola (FL) on 23 October 2020 (killing both crew).
