A Marine Corps F-35 fighter jet crashed in Imperial County, California, after clipping the wing of a Marine KC-130 refueling tanker during a mid-air refueling, according to a Marine Corps statement.
The F-35 pilot was able to eject safely and the KC-130 was able to carry out a safe emergency landing. The pilot is now being treated for his injuries.
quote:
"At approximately 1600 (4 p.m. Pacific time) it was reported that an F-35B made contact with a KC-130J during an air-to-air refueling evolution, resulting in the crash of the F-35B," read a statement from Marine Corps Air Station Yuma in Yuma, Arizona. "The pilot of the F-35B ejected successfully and is currently being treated."
quote:
"The KC-130J is on deck in the vicinity of Thermal Airport. All crew members of the KC-130J have been reported safe," read the statement.
The refueling tanker landed near a field, according to images published on social media.

Great job by the KC-130J crew recovering that jet. Great display of airmanship, and some good news for once in regards to military accidents as of late.

I'm pretty sure that video is just a clip from the scene in Independence day where Will Smith and the alien ship fly through the canyons.

you just did an incredibly brave thing... What you should have done was land your plane! You don't own that plane! The taxpayers do! Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash!"

Its not really a prop plane either. Notice the props are missing on right side and outer left is missing a blade or two.
(I dont know anything about airplanes but I dont think it is supposed to look like that...)

Bet that farmer was pissed

I assume that tanker had to dump all the jet fuel it was carrying to prepare for a crash landing... more fires inbound for Cali

Probably because it crash landed. This is one of those moments where it’s better to be thought a fool rather than open your mouth and remove all doubt

Thanks for that analysis.

That's a lot of fuel getting dumped in that field. Expect to see some kerosene growing there soon.
