A U.S. Navy T-45C Goshawk training aircraft<\/a> has crashed at approximately 12:30 p.m. CDT on May 26, 2026 on a private farmland in Noxubee County, Mississippi. The aircraft, assigned to Training Air Wing One (TW-1), went down for yet unknown reasons.<\/p>\n Two personnel assigned to TW-1 aboard the aircraft ejected safely and are currently being evaluated at a local medical center,” said the Chief of Naval Air Training (CNATRA) Public Affairs in a statement. The statement added that local emergency services and military first responders are currently on the scene to secure the site.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n The cause of the incident is under investigation. An unverified photo shows the supposed crash site, with some parts of the T-45 such as wing components and tail hook clearly visible in the crater on the ground.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n Online flight tracking shows a T-45 whose signal interrupted over Noxubee County, the same area mentioned by CNATRA in the statement. That aircraft was showing the callsign “BOBCT62,” with Bobcat being a callsign commonly associated with VT-9 Tigers, one of TW-1’s squadrons. It is not possible at this time to verify if the aircraft tracked was indeed the one that crashed.<\/p>\n Meridian T-45C down, both pilots ejected safely.

Earlier, on May 12, a T-38C Talon<\/a> of the U.S. Air Force assigned to Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi, crashed in west Alabama.<\/p>\n Similarly to the T-45C incident, both pilots were able to eject safely before the crash. The causes of the crash are currently unknown, and the Air Force said it will be investigated by a Safety Investigation Board, with an operational pause for the T-38<\/a> announced on May 19.<\/p>\n Statistics released on May 26, 2026, by the U.S. Naval Safety Command show that the Class A mishap number for Fiscal Year 2026 has already equaled the number for FY2025. A total of 12 mishaps is mentioned, which also include unmanned platforms such as the MQ-4C Triton lost in the Middle East<\/a>.<\/p>\n Interestingly, the document<\/a> also mention a decrease in the flight mishaps, which decreased from 11 to five. On the other hand, there was a sharp increase of the aviation ground mishaps from one to four.<\/p>\n Following the Growler collision and an MH-60 shipboard hard landing, the Navy’s FY26 Class A mishap total has already equaled all of FY25’s.
