An HS-11 SH-60 Seahawk crew flying plane guard duty from Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) rescued four crew members of an S-3 Viking that crashed into the Atlantic off Florida during a training flight on 6 December 2000. The Viking, from Sea Control Squadron 32 aboard NAS Jacksonville, Fla., went down 26 miles from Eisenhower.

The pilot suffered second-degree burns on his face and neck, and another crew member suffered neck injuries. All four were flown to Jacksonville, Fla.
