Texas pilot ejects himself from F-35B at airbase

There should be technology where you can eject out of an awkward conversation.

Context/Details: December 15, 2022, Texas. A F-35 jet, manufactured by Lockheed Martin, crashed at the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth on a Thursday around 10:15 a.m. The crash was captured on video, showing the plane descending slowly before its landing gear hit the ground, causing the aircraft to bounce and the nose to dive into the ground. The F-35B then went into a spin before coming to a halt. The pilot, an Air Force member, successfully ejected from the aircraft after losing control on the ground. A technical fault was identified as the cause of the crash. Following the crash, Lockheed Martin halted F-35 deliveries. The incident led to the Pentagon grounding several F-35s as a precautionary measure until at least early January. The F-35 fleet has flown over 600,000 cumulative flight hours, and Lockheed Martin has delivered more than 880 F-35s. I provide context and detailed explanations under similar posts.

Also in Texas, storm chaser Laura Rowe captured the picture of a lifetime on (May 17, 2021), with this fantastic shot of a mature supercell thunderstorm, illuminated at varying heights from the setting sun.

I mean good thing it wasn’t on fire, my guy only got 15 feet away? And good to know we spent 1 trillion + and it still goes haywire trying to land. 😭
