USAF F-35 Crashes In Alaska: Pilot Safe

The U.S. Air Force continues to investigate what caused the crash of an F-35A fighter on a training mission at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska yesterday. The pilot ejected safely, but the aircraft was completely destroyed in a fiery impact, described as “significant aircraft damage” in a statement from the 354th Fighter Wing public affairs office.

949 p.m.? It would have been dark at Eielson this time of year.

Between this and the Blackhawk training, one could start to think that the Military may need to review its training programs. They are starting to get expensive…and deadly.

It was 12:49 pm. Typo corrected. Thanks.
