Navy identifies 2 crew members killed in Washington state jet crash
Two people reportedly are injured after a Navy parachutist crash-landed during a performance in San Francisco. U.S. Naval officials, on Monday, identified the two crew members who died last week in a Navy jet crash near Mount Rainier in Washington state, as two 31-year-old aviators from California. The fighter jet pilots were identified as Lt. Cmdr. Evans and Wileman died when their EA-18G Growler jet from the Electronic Attack Squadron out of Whidbey Island Naval Air Station crashed on a mountainside east of Mount Rainier on Tuesday afternoon. The wreckage of the jet was located resting about 6,000 feet up in a remote, steep and heavily-wooded area, and until Sunday, the status of the crew remained a mystery without a site assessment of the debris area.
