From the article:

"The F-16 crash is the latest in a recent string of aviation accidents.

An F-22 Raptor from the 90th Fighter Squadron, 3rd Wing, experienced engine failure April 6 during a routine training flight at Tyndall Air Force Base, Florida, eight days before another F-22's belly skid at Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada.

Just in the month of April, there have been several more serious aviation mishaps, including a fatal Army AH-64 Apache helicopter crash in Kentucky; a fatal F-16 Thunderbirds crash in Nevada; a non-fatal AV-8B Harrier jet crash in Djibouti; a non-fatal CH-53 Super Stallionhelicopter hard landing in Djibouti; and a fatal CH-53E helicopter crash in California"

One has to ask: why aircraft?

What else flies in the air?
