依美國海軍時報的報導，美海軍及陸戰隊的飛機，在夏季的兩個月中，發生了飛行中三起引擎失火而必須迫降的 A 級事故，A 級事故指致死亡或導致250萬美元以上財物損失的事故，這些事故列計於海軍安全中心一個公開儀表板上。海軍及海陸在事故當時並沒有公布事故的發生。三起事故均成功迫降，未有人員受傷。
第一起發生在 7/1，海軍一架 F/A-18F 超級大黃蜂雙座戰鬥機在內華達州海軍法隆機場飛往加州時。第二起發生在 8/16 海陸一架 CH-53E 超級種馬直昇機在加州聖地牙哥進行夜間訓練時。第三起則是海軍一架 F/A-18E 超級大黃蜂單座戰鬥機在維吉尼亞州海軍奧西安納機場進行例行訓練時，關於這起事故，海軍航空隊亞特蘭大發言人拒絕回答海軍時報的大部分問題。
海軍的記錄顯示本年度目前為止，其他只有另一起事故，發生在3/25，一架 F/A-18F 起飛後失火而迫降在海軍勒莫爾機場。2025年則無此類事故。

In the span of two months this summer, U.S. naval aviation recorded three separate in-flight engine fires that caused millions in damage to the airframes and forced landings.
That’s according to data recorded by the Naval Safety Center, which tracks Class A mishaps — those that cause at least $2.5 million in damage or lead to death or loss of life — in a publicly accessible dashboard. The Navy and Marine Corps did not publicly announce any of the in-flight fires when they happened. While the mishaps did result in aircraft damage, landings were completed safely in all three cases and no crew members were injured.
The first of the three incidents took place July 1 and involved a F/A-18F Super Hornet two-seater fighter jet over Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada.

The second mishap, on Aug. 16, involved a Marine Corps CH-53E Super Stallion helicopter with Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 466, out of San Diego, California. Officials with 3rd Marine Corps Air Wing told Military Times the fire took place around 11 p.m. while the aircraft was conducting a routine night training mission over Glamis, California.
...
The final incident involved an F/A-18E single-seater jet in the vicinity of Naval Air Station Oceana, Virginia. A Naval Air Forces Atlantic spokeswoman, Lt. Cmdr. Courtney Callaghan, declined to answer most Military Times questions about the incident.
...
While the aircraft engine fires don’t appear to be linked, the episodes are notable not only because they take operational aircraft out of commission during a time of heightened operational tempo, but also because such fires are relatively rare. The Naval Safety Center records only one other engine fire this fiscal year, one that took place on March 25 involving an F/A-18F that caught fire on takeoff and was forced to land at NAS Lemoore. The center reported none in Fiscal Year 2025.
