Military pilots aren’t flying often enough to be as proficient as they need to be, Lt. Gen. Jon Davis, the head of Marine Corps aviation, told reporters in Washington, D.C., recently. “We’re about three hours per pilot per month better than we were [in May 2015], but that’s not good enough,” Davis said, according to military.com. “We’re still shy of our target.” In the last year, 11 Marine Corps aircraft have been lost in crashes, with 14 crew members killed.
