Breaking: Crash USMC F-35B!
On 15 December 2022, during a test flight of a USMC F-35B Lightning II at the Lockheed Martin facility at Fort Worth (TX), something went wrong.
During what seemed to be a controlled landing, turned out to become an uncontrollable aircraft. Soon after landing the F-35B turned around and flipped over, where the thrust of the powerful engine would not be able to be stopped.
The pilot decided to eject from ground level. Lockheed Martin reports that the pilot is safe.
