PACIFIC OCEAN – A civilian pilot operating a contracted Hawker Hunter aircraft safely ejected this afternoon and was recovered by a helicopter assigned to HSC-6 aboard USS Theodore Roosevelt.
The incident occurred approximately 100 nautical miles off the coast of Southern California as the aircraft was providing support to the Composite Training Unit Exercise (COMPTUEX) for the Theodore Roosevelt Carrier Strike Group. COMPTUEX is a training evolution that tests a carrier strike group's mission-readiness and certifies that strike group for deployment.
The reason for ejection is unknown at this time. The pilot is being transported to Navy Medical Center San Diego for a full medical assessment.
