An F-35A Joint Strike Fighter jet crashed at the Florida Air Force Base during a routine training flight on Tuesday (October 18), the US Air Force said.

As per officials, the pilot successfully ejected and was later admitted to the hospital where he is now in stable condition.

The F-35A Lightning II assigned to the 58th Fighter Squadron of the 33rd Wing crashed, the air force statement said. There was no major loss of life or any civilian properties, Military.com reported.

The crash occurred nearly 12 miles from Eglin during the test training range.

A thorough investigation is underway.

This the second American F-35 crash within two years.

On a routine training flight last Friday morning near Eglin, an F-22 Raptor had crashed.

In September 2018, a Marine Corps F-35B belonging to Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 crashed in South Carolina.

A similar incident happened in Japan as well in the year 2019 when a Japanese F-35A variant crashed into the Pacific Ocean 30 minutes after taking off.

The F-35 series is an expensive programme that cost over $1 trillion. As per official sources, the Pentagon has requested to cut expenses where it can be hoped to slash the F35's price to $80 million per jet.

You know, made in America..

 

[VCheng]

Another one down...Never know any other planes having such a high crash rate.

That is why no one is lining up to buy the F-35.



On wait.

 

[gambit]

Damn...Looks like some of that 'Chinesium' metal made it through...

 

[beijingwalker]

F-35 obviously speed up its crashing effort in recent years, we're going to see more coming soon.

 

[Yongpeng Sun-Tastaufen]

Chinese made components. Shoddy.

indian origin pilot?

Oh look - a 5th generation jet that is actually flying, raking in flight hours and is about to approach the thousand deliveries figure.

I wonder which other air force comes close?

No one comes to this close to this rate of crashing too.

 

[VCheng]

No one comes to this close to this rate of crashing too.

Because they have nothing similar or even close.

 

[beijingwalker]

Because they have nothing similar or even close.

crash rate? I agree.

 

[VCheng]

crash rate? I agree.

Or a 5th generation jet that has flown the most. They do not have that either, so they have nothing to compare for the crash rate.

US 5th generation jet set record of high crash rate, don't know whether others will follow this US rule.
