F-35 falls out of the sky and crashes at Air Base in Alaska.

Merit based?

Dude in the parachute must’ve been nervous af with that aircraft falling so close.

Nonetheless, that aircraft has had the most hilarious malfunctions.

That time it went rogue and on autopilot but because it was stealth they couldn’t intercept it was wild.

Then that low speed ejection where the aircraft bounced off the ground.

Funny thing is these things really do explode like in the movies.

The main thing about this aircraft that puts it at advantage is its electronics. The thing is supposed to basically act as a quarterback.

Something ironic about this POS plane crashing and millions of Americans getting their Medicaid and Medicare cut on the same day.

Lets just say a lot of us are not fans… even in the military

Could be pilot error, could be machine failure. An investigation will be done and a determination made on which it is. All and all, this happens since no-one and no thing is perfect and without error.

Don't worry. I'm sure they'll find a way to blame a minority for it. Screw J11 wasn't tight enough and a black guy was working somewhere on the base that day.

I’m the supply guy that gives screw J11 to the mechs.

Don't know but those aren't all losses. And some are pilot error
