Yo, check this out: A Navy recon jet overshot the runway at a Marine base in Hawaii and ended up giving the plane a little carwash as a result.

We don't have video of the landing, but here's a shot of the cleanup:

Glad we got rid of so many service members who refused to get the vax, huh?

A US Navy reconnaissance jet with nine crew members aboard crashed into water off the Hawaiian island of Oahu on Monday after overshooting the runway at a US Marine Corps base there, military officials said.

There were no casualties aboard the P-8A Poseidon aircraft, a twin-engine multimission patrol and reconnaissance jet with the airframe of a Boeing 737 passenger plane, according to Marine Corps spokesperson 1st Lt. Hailey Harms.

Harms said the conditions of the nine personnel aboard were being assessed.

Since I'm no pilot and I can't even imagine maneuvering one of those jets on a runway, let alone flying one, I'm gonna give this pilot the benefit of the doubt considering the conditions.

Visibility was down to around a mile at the time of the incident, with wind gusts up to 21 miles per hour and mist, according to the National Weather Service.

Yeah, no way.

The crew was conducting routine training at the time of the landing and it looks like every one of the nine members aboard are in one piece and doing well.

No word yet on whether or not this was one of those all-female crews.

🤣🤣🤣

(Sorry, had to.)
