A F-35B has crashed in South Carolina, five miles outside the Beaufort Marine Corps Air Station. The pilot ejected safely, surviving the first crash of the technical issues-riddled 5th-gen jet, which costs over $115 million.
Beaufort County Sheriff’s Office said that the crash occurred around 11:45 am local time, in the Grays Hill area. Emergency crews are responding to the incident.
The pilot “safely ejected” and is being evaluated for injuries, the authorities said. No civilians were hurt.

Piloted planes will be history soon because humans won't be able to handle the g forces they need to take on unpiloted aircraft that don't have blood pressure anyway

Its a great plane..except if you eject it brakes your neck if you have one, the canon can't fire, the computer system is confused and can't co operate with other planes, its too fat to be stealthy, doesn't manoeuver as well as an f16.....thats off the top of my head
