Guam is a crucial hub for U.S. forces in the Pacific, and the Department of Defense controls about a third of the island. The Super Bowl is taking place Sunday in Arizona. “When compared with F/A-18C/Ds of the same age, the Super Hornet fleet has had lower availability rates." The Navy will conduct a pregame flyover with three tactical aircraft squadrons for Super Bowl LVII. The Super Hornet suffered an engine fire in August 2022 and was repaired aboard the aircraft carrier George H.W. Bush. No one was injured in either of the Class A mishaps last month. The aircraft, which fell overboard as the carrier completed an at-sea replenishment July 8, was pulled from a depth of roughly 9,500 feet. Military officials won’t answer whether they’ve found the problem on any planes. No injuries or deaths have been reported due to the issue, according to the Navy. The State Department cleared a possible foreign military sale of 96 Raytheon-made Patriot surface-to-air missiles to the Netherlands in a deal estimated to be worth $1.2 billion. Load More
