$100M F-35 stealth fighter CRASHED into runway as undercarriage collapses while it's being towed in Japan
2022-12-04
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Left the brakes on?
Let us be grateful they’re debugging the things before they're needed to fight a war.
  • A $100million F-35 stealth fighter jet crashed onto the runway while being towed at the Kadena Air Base, Okinawa, Japan, on December 1, 2022, around 2pm

  • It made a precautionary landing due to possible electrical problems

  • After landing on the runway, crews began towing the aircraft when the front wheel, which can retract under the cockpit, suddenly collapsed

  • The plane slowly crashed nose-first into the runway, but it does not appear that a pilot was inside the aircraft at the time

  • It is unclear how much damage the crash caused and the US Marine Corps is investigating
    No doubt.
