ALASKA | F-35 Fighter Jet Crashes at Eielson AFB
I would say that "significant aircraft damage" might be an understatement...

FAIRBANKS, (January 28, 2024) — An Air Force fighter pilot is in the hospital after an F-35 jet crashed at Eielson Air Force Base in Fairbanks, Alaska.

The $81M F-35 fighter jet crashed Tuesday at 12:49 p.m. local time, causing "significant aircraft damage," according to a statement from the Air Force base.

The pilot, who has not yet been identified, safely ejected and has been transported to Bassett Army Hospital for further evaluation, according to the statement.

The pilot is in stable condition.

That was probably the assessment of the petroleum transfer technician who filmed the video.

US Air Force pilot Col Paul Townsend commander of the 354th Fighter Wing told the single-seat F-35 fighter jet in Alaska crashed after an “inflight malfunction”.

Reminds me of the NASA commentator on the Challenger disaster launch ... "Obviously a major malfunction" (no shit).
