US fighter jets grounded after third crash

Washington - A US Navy F-14A fighter jet crashed in the Gulf. It was the third F-14 crash in less than a month, and the navy ordered all of the high-performance planes worldwide to stop flying for three days. The pilot and radar officer aboard the F-14A were rescued and returned to the USS Nimitz. AP
