On Friday morning, it meant a stealth fighter was down. A U.S. Marine Corps <a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/de\/flugzeug\/f-35-lightning-ii\/\">F-35B<\/a> Lightning II crashed in the vicinity of Marine Corps Air Station Miramar shortly before 10 a.m. Pacific time, sending a column of black smoke into the sky above the city and scorching a patch of ground short of the runway.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The pilot got out. That is the headline that matters. He ejected, was recovered, and was taken to a local hospital in stable condition with injuries the Marine Corps described as non-life-threatening. A news helicopter caught the aftermath: a plume of smoke rising from a dirt field, fire trucks and military vehicles clustered around the wreckage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The jet belonged to Marine Aircraft Group 11 of the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing &mdash; Miramar's own. What brought it down is not yet known.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;padding:20px 24px;margin:24px 0;border-radius:8px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7\"><strong style=\"font-size:17px\">Kurzinfo<\/strong><ul style=\"margin:10px 0 0;padding-left:20px\"><li><strong>Was:<\/strong> A U.S. Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II crashed near MCAS Miramar, San Diego<\/li><li><strong>Wann:<\/strong> Friday, 31 July 2026, shortly before 10:00 a.m. Pacific<\/li><li><strong>Einheit:<\/strong> Marine Aircraft Group 11, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing<\/li><li><strong>Pilot:<\/strong> Ejected, recovered, taken to hospital in stable condition with non-life-threatening injuries<\/li><li><strong>Einstufung:<\/strong> \"Class A mishap\" &mdash; the military's most severe category<\/li><li><strong>Ursache:<\/strong> Wird untersucht<\/li><\/ul><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">A \"Class A\" morning<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Marines labelled the crash a \"Class A mishap,\" and the phrase carries weight. In U.S. military accounting, a Class A is the worst tier: damage of at least $2.5 million, a destroyed aircraft, or a death or permanent disability. When the aircraft in question is an F-35B &mdash; a jet that runs north of $100 million a copy &mdash; a hull loss clears that bar on its own.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;The pilot ejected, was transported to a local medical facility in stable condition for evaluation and treatment of non-life-threatening injuries.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>US Marine Corps<\/strong> &mdash; 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing statement<\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond that terse confirmation, the Marine Corps has said little, which is normal this early. A Class A mishap triggers a formal safety investigation, and investigators will comb through flight data, maintenance records and the wreckage before anyone offers a cause. That process takes months, not hours.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px;width:100%\"><img data-opt-id=1905206791  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" width=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/08\/f35b-vertical-landing-amphibious-deck.jpg\" alt=\"F-35B vertical landing\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;max-width:100%;display:block;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">An F-35B settles into a vertical landing. The STOVL jet trades a second engine for a lift fan &mdash; and depends entirely on that single power system. (Photo: U.S. Navy)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">One seat, one engine<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The F-35B is the short-takeoff, vertical-landing member of the Lightning II family &mdash; the version the Marines built their future around. It is single-seat and single-engine, its Pratt &amp; Whitney F135 driving a shaft-linked lift fan behind the cockpit that lets the jet hover and land like a Harrier. That elegance comes with a hard truth: there is no second engine to limp home on. When something goes badly wrong low and slow, the ejection seat is the plan.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Friday, that plan worked. The pilot is alive and stable &mdash; the outcome every one of these stories is measured against.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is not the first Marine F-35B to make unwelcome headlines. In September 2023, a pilot ejected from an F-35B near Charleston, South Carolina, and the jet flew on, pilotless, for some 60 miles before coming down in a rural field &mdash; a bizarre episode that had crews briefly asking the public to help find a missing stealth fighter. Friday's crash was more conventional, and mercifully close to home.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6vEszx-z-Hc\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;border-radius:8px\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Was kommt als N\u00e4chstes?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Expect a quiet few weeks. The safety board will do its work, Miramar will carry on, and the fleet will keep flying unless investigators find a reason not to. For now the record is simple and, by the standard these events are judged on, a good one: an aircraft lost, a pilot walking away.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Sources: U.S. Marine Corps \/ 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing statements; USNI News; CNN; NBC News; Stars and Stripes; The Washington Post.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f0f4ff;border-left:4px solid #5C91FF;padding:16px 20px;margin:32px 0 8px;border-radius:0 8px 8px 0\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:600;color:#333\">\u00c4hnliche Beitr\u00e4ge<\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/de\/marine-fa18d-hornet-crash-rimrock-lake-washington-pine-tree-fire\/\">Hornet abgest\u00fcrzt: Marinejet l\u00f6st Waldbrand aus<\/a><\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/de\/marines-f-35b-ballast-ohne-radar-apg-85-verzogerung-2026\/\">Marines erbeuten sechs F-35 ohne Radar<\/a><\/p><p style=\"margin:4px 0\"><a href=\"https:\/\/migflug.com\/afterburner\/de\/js-kaga-f-35b-marines-japan-flugzeugtrager-2026\/\">Japans Kaga ist wieder ein Carrier.<\/a><\/p><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Black smoke over San Diego is never a good sign.
