VMGR-152 are based at Futenma,Okinawa, so this airplane was a long way from home at the time if it's demise.

VMGR-152 is based at Iwakuni for some years already. But yes, a long way from home. Every body R.I.P.

A memory lapse. ( it is the small hours here).

A mid-air explosion/ structural failure appear to be the primary cause of this loss.

RIP to those lost.

Looking at the footage, it lays on its back, like it fell straight out of the sky.
