Again, amazingly bad.

I’m just shaking my head.

Why? The U.S. hasn't had a fighter shot down since (I believe) the Iraq war after 9/11. To have three fighters shot down in a single day is pretty bad, and worse by the fact that it was friendly fire - which is presumably an outcome that should always be avoidable through proper planning and coordination. No matter what else happens (and the first few days of the exercise have otherwise gone well), there's going to be a lot of investigation and Congressional hearings about how so monumental a mistake could have happened.
