Thirty F35s have crashed now. Glad the pilot escaped and as far as I have seen so far no one on the ground was hurt.

Glad the pilot appears to be ok..
That's gotta suck watching your aircraft drop n burn while you float down on the chute. Talk about a bad day at the office.

That's only about $2.65 billion in hardware losses.

Sometimes the jet just has a bad day. Very common for pilots to stay with a bad jet too long pushing the viability of the ejection seat envelope. Glad to see the pilot got out safely.

Must’ve been built on a Monday or Friday huh?
Lockheed/Martin.

It ain't the same company when my dad worked for the Glen L Martin company.

Or, when Allen Lockheed ran Lockheed.

They are mostly owned by Blackrock & Vanguard now.

They are controlled by investors now.

Sad
