With todays historic event with the F35 landing on QE, comes news that the first ever crash of an F35 happened today. :(

News headlines today: Sept. 28, 2018 https://abcnews.go.com/US/cutting-edge-35-stealth-fighter-crashes-south-carolina/story?id=58152917

A Marine F-35B joint strike fighter has crashed close to Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort in Beaufort, South Carolina -- marking the first-ever crash of the costly stealth aircraft, which will become the main fighter aircraft for the Marine Corps, Air Force and Navy, a military official confirms.

Officials say the pilot safely ejected. He's being evaluated for injuries, the local sheriff's office said.

Capt. Bob Bromidge, with the Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office, also confirmed to ABC News that a Marine Corps aircraft had crashed in a rural part of Beaufort County.

"The Marine Corps confirmed that it was one of theirs,” Bromidge told ABC News.

The Marine Corps version of the F-35 is able to take off and land vertically.

It's being reported on Twitter by defence analysts that it's possible that the F35 flying programme may be suspended while the cause of the crash is investigated.

The 2 new aircraft carriers have allegedly cost £6.2 billion. This does not include the running costs. Talk about a misplaced sense of priorities, particularly when all they are is slow moving, already obscelete, flag carrying, easy targets for smart missiles. Really, what ****ing use are they?

I worked for a regular customer who is in the navy a couple of weeks ago, he had just come back from Florida working on the Queen Elizabeth, he was in the bar with the lads who got into trouble, he said it was nothing and got blown out of all proportion by the media because it was her first foreign trip.
The Captain was not very happy about it at all though.
