Another F35 has crashed & resulting fire

It seems another F35 has crashed. Unconfirmed reports are an F35 crashed near Fresno, California. The pilot ejected, was recovered and taken to a Fresno hospital by helicopter in unknown condition. The crash started a vegetation fire that is reportedly under control and both federal and local firefighters are doing a defensive firefighting attack on the aircraft itself.

Apparently about half the F35s in the USAF on paper are sitting at Lockheed awaiting software updates.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow The future is drones, missiles, rail guns, and satellites.

@KunsanVeteran Drones and new missile tech is definitely interesting.

Rail guns at least for the US was a dead end.

Read about how the USN sold a decade of research to Japan because the Navy could not make it work.
