| 2005-05-05 |
| WASHINGTON - The remains of a US pilot, who had crashed in Iraq, have been found, the Pentagon said on Wednesday. Search teams located the body of the second F/A-18 fighter aircraft pilot but determined that there was "no initial indication of hostile fire in the area", the Pentagon said. However, the May 3 incident, which left two US Marine Corps pilots dead and their planes destroyed, is being investigated. The F/A-18s were based on the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier. |

| #2 I'm sad to hear that two good Marines died ... and thank the search teams for the closure. For the crew of the USS Carl Vinson, for their families, for their fellow Marines and lastly for us. Rest in peace. :) |
