F-35B Crash Near Miramar | San Antonio News
Description
A U.S. Marine Corps F-35B stealth fighter crashed near San Diego’s Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, but the pilot safely ejected and is in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries. Smoke rose from the wreckage in a dirt field as emergency crews responded — including firefighters battling a nearby vegetation fire sparked by the crash. The F-35B, known for its vertical landing capability, is part of a critical military aircraft family used by Marines, Navy, and Air Force. Miramar, once dubbed “Fightertown USA” and home to the famed Top Gun training school, now hosts ongoing investigations into what caused this rare but serious incident involving cutting-edge aviation tech.
