An F-35B stealth fighter crashed near Miramar Air Base in San Diego, but the pilot ejected safely with non-life-threatening injuries. The jet was destroyed, marking the 17th “Class A mishap” involving F-35s since 2000 — a sobering reminder that even the most advanced aircraft carry risk. Another recent ejection occurred in May 2024 near Albuquerque, underscoring ongoing safety concerns. Emergency crews responded to a nearby vegetation fire at the crash site — an area historically known as “Fightertown USA.” While the focus remains on the pilot’s recovery, investigators will probe the cause of this serious incident.
