A Navy salvage team has recovered the wreckage of a C-2A Greyhound aircraft that crashed on Nov. 22, 2017, in the Philippine Sea, killing three sailors. The wreckage was brought up from a depth of roughly three nautical miles on May 21, U.S. 7th Fleet officials confirmed to Navy Times. What caused the Greyhound crash remains unclear. It was flying to the aircraft carrier Ronald Reagan when something forced the pilot, Lt. Steven Combs, to land in the water. Eight of the 11 on board escaped but Combs, Aviation Boatswains Mate (Equipment) Airman Matthew Chialastri and Aviation Ordnanceman Airman Apprentice Bryan Grosso died.
