 Navy divers on the military sea lift command rescue and salvage ship USNS Grasp salvage to down F-16 Charlie aircraft off the coast of Virginia this was one of two fighter jets from the 113th wing DC National Guard that clipped wings during a routine training mission August 1st. Grasp left Virginia Beach August 6th and spent seven days scanning more than 10 square miles of ocean before locating the F-16. We had to start researching any radar contacts from different units that held them to try to narrow down this space in the ocean to start searching. Diving operations ended August 19th after recovering key debris and remnants of the aircraft. A safety investigation board at Joint Base Andrews is reviewing the flight data recorder.
