The US Marine Corps reports that an F-35B stealth fighter crashes in California near Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego. Multiple outlets cite a Marine statement describing the incident as a “Class A mishap.” The pilot ejects from the aircraft before it goes down and is transported to a local medical facility for evaluation and treatment. Officials say the pilot is expected to live and is in stable condition. Injuries are described as non-life-threatening. Several reports note that a small fire broke out after the crash and that first responders douse it. The pilot is not publicly identified in the accounts reviewed. Reporting does not provide additional details on the cause of the crash, the aircraft’s service history, or whether any damage occurred outside the immediate crash area. One outlet also notes the estimated cost of an F-35B aircraft, placing it at roughly US$109 million. The Marine Corps has not, in these reports, released findings explaining what led to the crash.
