F-35 warplanes start flying, already a crash

Military plane crash in Beaufort near Joe Allen Drive area. Appears to have crashed on a bluff/island owned by Clarendon Plantations. Not usually many people over there. Praying for the safety of all involved! pic.twitter.com/dM5a8v2lg1

Translated from Dutch NOS TV today:

In the American state of South Carolina, an F-35 has crashed, the military aircraft that is also known under the name JSF. It is the first time this type of warplane crashes. The pilot has brought himself to safety with the ejector seat.

Planes had already been destroyed by fires, but not yet by a crash. The cause of the accident is not clear.

The F-35 is the most expensive aircraft that the US Air Force can deploy. That happened yesterday for the first time in a combat situation, in Afghanistan. …

A standard plane will cost 89 million dollars.
