On 13 May 2008 an F/A-18F from the squadron operating from USS "Theodore Roosevelt" accidentally dropped a 500-pound laser-guided bomb outside of the Pinecastle bombing range near the Ocala National Forest. The bomb explosion started a wildfire which burned of vegetation. No one was injured in the blaze, but the emergency response cost $342,946. A Navy investigation determined that technical misunderstandings and crew fatigue contributed to the mishap. The two crew members of the jet were later returned to flying status after a board review.
