Trouble hit F-35 poor! What happened in America now with the world’s most advanced fighter jet?

A F-35 fighter aircraft of the US Navy crashed near California-based Naval Air Station Lemur. According to the report, the accident occurred at around 6:30 pm local time. The pilot managed to get out safely and did not suffer any serious injury. The Navy said the incident is under investigation and the cause of the accident is not yet known. The aircraft caught fire as soon as the collision occurred. The aircraft was of the strike fighter Squadron VF-125, also known as “Rough Reders”. According to CNN, this squadron acts as a fleet replacement squadron, whose job is to train naval pilots and aerkruz to deploy on the advance front.

Naval Air Station Lemur, the place near which the accident occurred, is located about 40 miles southwest of Fresno in Central California. The report stated that the base is a major center of the US Navy strategic air operations on the west coast.

The crashed jet was F-35C, especially one of the three types of F-35 Lightning II designed to operate on American aircraft carriers. While the US Air Force operates F-35A, Marine uses Corps F-35B, capable of small flight and vertical landing. This is the second F-35 accident recorded this year. In January, an Air Force F-35A aircraft crashed during a training mission at Ailaska’s Ellason Air Force Base. Like other types, F-35C costs around $ 100 million.
