USNI News reports the aircraft was a two-seater and names the three obvious candidates: the <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/fa-18-super-hornet\/\">F\/A-18F Super Hornet<\/a>, the EA-18G Growler and the <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/aircraft\/t-45-goshawk\/\">T-45C Goshawk<\/a> trainer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Carrier Air Wing 3 flies both of the first two. Its Strike Fighter Squadron 32 operates the two-seat F\/A-18F, and Electronic Attack Squadron 130 flies the EA-18G. The T-45 is on the list for a different reason. Navy photos show Ike spent late August running carrier qualifications, including T-45Cs from Naval Air Training Command and F\/A-18Es from the fleet replacement squadron VFA-106. Until the Navy says more, any one answer is a guess.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/09\/e-2d-hawkeye-lands-uss-eisenhower-carrier-qualifications-2026.jpg\" alt=\"E-2D Hawkeye of VAW-120 lands on USS Dwight D.

According to USNI News, Ike finished a maintenance period in July and is in the early phase of her workups. She left Naval Station Norfolk on the afternoon of the mishap, and the air wing was starting its early carrier qualifications.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>That is the stage where pilots re-earn the right to land on a moving deck at sea. Every trap is an arrested landing, with the tailhook snagging one of the wires stretched across the deck. When it works, the aircraft stops within a few hundred feet. When it does not, the aircrew may have a second or two to make the call to eject, and the sailors standing around the landing area are standing in one of the most dangerous workplaces anywhere.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Commissioned in October 1977, Ike was the second of the ten Nimitz-class carriers. She was built by Newport News Shipbuilding in Virginia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">What Happens Next<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>A mishap investigation board will now reconstruct the last seconds of the landing: the approach, the wire, the aircraft's systems and the ejection. Navy mishap reports can take months to appear, and many are only released through public records requests.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The good news is the part that matters most. Two aviators rode ejection seats out of a bad landing, and both are back aboard.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p><em>Sources: U.S. Navy statement on X, Associated Press, USNI News, Stars and Stripes, DVIDS<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<style>.mfq{margin:34px 0 8px}.mfq h2{font:26px\/1.3 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117;padding-top:22px;margin:0 0 6px}.mfq .qa details{border-top:1px solid #5C91FF;margin:0;padding:0}.mfq .qa details:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e2e7ee}.mfq .qa summary{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:16px;padding:22px 26px;font:18px\/1.7 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117}.mfq .qa summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mfq .qa summary::after{content:\"+\";font:24px Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#3568e0;flex:0 0 auto}.mfq .qa details[open] summary::after{content:\"\\2013\"}.mfq .qa details:hover summary{color:#3568e0}.mfq .qa .a{font:16px\/1.7 \"Gilroy regular\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#454e5e;padding:0 26px 24px}.mfq .qa .a a{color:#3568e0}@media(max-width:680px){.mfq .qa summary{padding:18px 14px;font-size:17px}.mfq .qa .a{padding:0 14px 20px}}<\/style>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"mfq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><div class=\"qa\"><details open><summary>What happened on USS Dwight D.
