US Navy searching for F-35 warplane fall in SCS

By J.Lo


“I can confirm the aircraft impacted  flight deck during landing and subsequently fell to the water,” United States 7th Fleet spokesman Lieutenant Nicholas Lingo said  ” US Navy is making recovery operations arrangements for F-35C aircraft.”

The US Navy was making arrangements to recover an F-35C warplane that fell into  South China Sea after  landing mishap.

Seven US military personnel were hurt on the deck of the aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson and the pilot ejected, the Navy said.

Asked about an unsourced media report suggesting there were fears that aircraft could fall into hands of China, which claims most of South China Sea, Lingo replied, referring to the People’s Republic of China… “we cannot speculate on what PRC’s intentions are on this matter.”

It was the second crash involving F-35, which is made by Lockheed Martin, and a carrier in just over two months.

An F-35 from Britain’s HMS Queen Elizabeth crashed into the Mediterranean Sea in November, though the pilot ejected and was safely returned to the ship. Britain’s Ministry of Defense said that aircraft was subsequently recovered.

Earlier this month, a South Korean F-35A fighter made an emergency landing during training.

In April 2019, a Japanese F-35 stealth fighter crashed in the Pacific Ocean close to northern Japan, killing the pilot.

The US Navy said  pilot ejected safely in Monday’s incident, but was among the personnel hurt.

The Pentagon says two Carrier Strike Groups, led by the Carl Vinson and USS Abraham Lincoln, began operations in  South China Sea on Sunday. They entered  disputed sea for training as Taiwan reported  new Chinese air force incursion at the top of the waterway.

Lockheed Martin, which makes F-35 jets, reported better-than-expected quarterly profit on Tuesday.

Seven US military personnel were hurt  when an F-35C warplane had  “landing mishap” on  deck of  aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson in South China Sea and the pilot ejected.

A Navy statement said the incident happened during “routine flight operations” in  South China Sea.

“The pilot safely ejected from the aircraft and was recovered via US military helicopter,” it said. “The pilot is in stable condition. There were seven total Sailors injured.”

The statement said three of personnel required evacuation to a medical facility in Manila and four were treated by on-board the carrier and released. It said all the personnel evacuated were assessed as being in stable condition.

The Navy said  cause of  “inflight mishap” was under investigation.

The F-35 jet is made by Lockheed Martin.
