...more atThe previously unreported crash took the life of a highly experienced test pilot under murky circumstances.
This crash seems more mysterious outright as it took the life of an experienced test pilot and the type of aircraft involved in the mishap remains undisclosed.
All we know is that it belonged to the Air Force Material Command.
The crash is said to have occurred roughly 100 miles north of Las Vegas, deep within the Nevada Test and Training Range.
The fact that the aircraft was owned by the Air Force Material Command likely means
that it was likely a test aircraft,
which could be anything from an F-16 to an F-35s
to a exotic and highly classified test article to a foreign fighter jet.
The fact that the USAF won't disclose the type of aircraft
involved in the mishap is somewhat of a red flag
and points to the possibility that the airframe could have been sensitive in nature.
Obviously Area 51 and Tonopah Test Range Airport are both in the vicinity of where the crash supposedly occurred. Both installations are legendary for their classified aircraft programs.
The delay in the disclosure of the crash could have been due to the sensitive nature of what was being flown and from where.
