On May 26, 1981 a Marine Corps EA-6B Prowler from VMAQ-2 "Playboys" landed right of the centerline aboard USS Nimitz (CVN 68) and hit nine other airplanes parked on the flight deck. The subsequent mishap investigation revealed that the deceased pilot had fought a head cold by "self medicating" and six of the 11 sailors killed in the fire on the flight deck had traces of marijuana in their blood. Among the actions taken following the investigation was that President Reagan ordered the U.S. military to institute a drug testing program across all branches of the service. That program is still in place today.
