Summary
A Marine F-35B jet crashed near Miramar Air Base, San Diego, forcing the pilot to eject—though injuries are non-life-threatening. The aircraft was destroyed, triggering a $2M+ “Class A” mishap designation, the most severe category. This isn’t the first time the F-35 has suffered such incidents, with at least 17 Class A events in the Air Force since 2000. Yet, the F-35 remains one of the safest and most advanced fighters ever built, with far fewer crashes than comparable jets during their early years. Recent examples include a May 2024 ejection near Albuquerque. While every crash is serious, the F-35’s overall safety record is strong, and investigators are now probing the cause of this latest incident.
