Live aerials over an 'aircraft mishap' involving an F-35 at Miramar Air Base in San Diego, California. The U.S. Marine Corps says an F-35B jet crashed near a Southern California air base, and the pilot has been taken to a medical facility. The jet went down Friday afternoon near the Miramar Air Base in San Diego. A statement from the U.S. Marines called the incident a “Class A mishap.” That's the most severe mishap category and one that is used when the damage totals more than $2 million, the destruction of a military aircraft, or service member death. The statement did not include any details about the condition of the pilot, other than to say they ejected, were recovered and were being taken to a medical facility. The F-35B is one of several versions of the advanced stealth fighter jet that is flown by the Marine Corps, Navy and Air Force. The “B” version has an engine that is designed for short takeoffs and is capable of vertical landings. Stay up to date with our social media:...
