All 4 Crew members were awake and responsive when they arrived here at Norfolk Sentara

 

2 F-18Fs from VF211 had a mid air mishap during a training excercise.

Skates, just curious why they were taken to a civilian hospital. Isn't there a suitable military facility in Norfolk?

AFAIK, They've always Taken them to Sentara Norfolk,

 

When the Arresting Cable on the Carrier Snapped and injured 8+ Crew members a month or so ago, they were all air lifted to Sentara Norfolk As well.

 

Sentara's Truama Unit is the best in the Area though, they also have a heli-pad literally outside the main doors and to the right, so it's a 10 second trip from the pad to the Emergency Entrance.

That probably explains it.

Well, 2 Crewmen Walked from the Chopper to the Entrance w/ their gear,

 

The other 2 were able to Move themselves from the Chopper to the Gurney on the own, and appeared to have stiff neck symptoms (holding the back of their neck/lower back of head, pointing to that area when hospital staff was talking to them, etc.

 

They were sitting on on the gurney's with their gear on their legs. Both on the gurney's also arrived sans boots, while the other 2 still had their boots on.
