An F-35B fighter jet crashed near Miramar Marine Corps Air Base in San Diego, forcing the pilot to eject—though injuries are not life-threatening. Fire crews responded to a small vegetation fire sparked by the crash. Classified as a “Class A mishap,” the incident marks significant damage and destruction, with the cause still under investigation. Despite being one of the most advanced and safest fighters in service, the F-35B has seen rare fatal crashes since its 2015 debut—and this isn’t the only military aircraft incident this year, with at least seven similar events reported nationwide.
