The list, when it is read in one sitting, is no longer just a run of bad luck \u2014 and the Pentagon, it emerged on 27 May 2026, has stopped treating it as one.<\/p>\n<p>A new joint task force, quietly established on 15 January 2026 and disclosed to Congress only this spring, brings together the Joint Safety Council and the military departments to ask a single, uncomfortable question: why did American military aircraft start falling out of the sky in numbers the country had not seen since 2018?<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f5f5f5;padding:16px 20px;margin:18px 0 24px;border-radius:8px;font-size:15px;line-height:1.7\"><p style=\"margin:0 0 8px;font-weight:700;color:#333;font-size:16px\">Quick Facts<\/p><p style=\"margin:6px 0\"><strong>Established:<\/strong> 15 January 2026, by the Office of the Secretary of Defense<\/p><p style=\"margin:6px 0\"><strong>Mandate:<\/strong> Identify joint and systemic mishap risk factors across USAF, USN, USMC, US Army<\/p><p style=\"margin:6px 0\"><strong>Structure:<\/strong> Joint Safety Council and the military departments<\/p><p style=\"margin:6px 0\"><strong>Planned output:<\/strong> an Aviation Safety Plan of Action<\/p><p style=\"margin:6px 0\"><strong>Why now:<\/strong> Class A mishaps hit a six-year high in fiscal 2024<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">What the Pentagon is calling concerning<\/h2>\n<p>A Class A mishap, in service speech, is one with a fatality, a destroyed aircraft, or damage above $2.5 million. The military has tracked them obsessively since the 1980s as the master indicator of aviation safety. The rate stayed broadly flat through the 1990s and 2000s, climbed slightly during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and dropped back through the late 2010s.<\/p>\n<p>It then climbed again through the early 2020s, and fiscal 2024 saw 54 Class A aviation mishaps across the military \u2014 the most since 2018. The Air Force and Army in particular logged their highest flight-mishap rates per 100,000 flying hours in a decade. 2025 brought signs of improvement, with the Air Force recording its fewest Class A mishaps in ten years \u2014 but the war in Iran has taken its own toll, with 14 Air Force aircraft destroyed so far in 2026, already above the decade\u2019s yearly average.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\" style=\"margin:0 0 24px\"><img data-opt-id=47401730  fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ml5psubhxdln.i.optimole.com\/cb:0e0_.b970\/w:auto\/h:auto\/q:mauto\/ig:avif\/https:\/\/migflug.com\/jetflights\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/4\/2026\/05\/ntsb-wreckage-mid-air-collision-investigation.jpg\" alt=\"NTSB investigators document aircraft wreckage\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto;border-radius:6px\"><figcaption style=\"font-size:13px;color:#777;text-align:center;margin-top:6px;font-style:italic\">NTSB investigators document the wreckage of a 2025 mid-air collision. The new Pentagon task force will examine mishap risk factors across all four services. Photo: NTSB \/ Wikimedia Commons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The factors the task force will look at<\/h2>\n<p>Several recurring threads have already emerged in service-level safety reviews:<\/p>\n<p>First, fleet age. The KC-135 fleet averages 65 years. The A-10 is heading for retirement at the same time the F-22 fleet is being slowly cannibalised to keep itself flying. The Navy&#8217;s T-45 trainer has hit its airframe-hour ceiling. Older airframes mean more system failures, more maintenance-induced errors, and more demanding crew workload.<\/p>\n<p>Second, sortie tempo. Operation Epic Fury \u2014 the 40-day air campaign against Iran that ended in early May \u2014 generated some of the highest tactical-aviation sortie rates the US has flown since Desert Storm. Crews are returning from CENTCOM exhausted, and the post-deployment training schedule has not slowed down.<\/p>\n<p>Third, pilot retention. The Air Force remains short more than a thousand fighter pilots. The pool of experienced instructors across the services is stretched thin. When experienced crews leave, mishap rates rise \u2014 the data has been consistent on this point for decades.<\/p>\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #1565c0;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;To address concerning trends in aviation, we established the Aviation Mishap Task Force, integrating the Joint Safety Council and the Military Departments to identify joint and systemic risk factors, including the readiness degradation associated with repeated Continuing Resolutions, and deliver actionable policy recommendations.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>Anthony J.

Combat losses are handled inside the after-action reports of the relevant commands. Mountain Home, Whidbey Island, NAS Meridian, Edwards, Robins \u2014 those are the names that will keep coming up in the task force&#8217;s open-source paper trail.<\/p>\n<p>The task force\u2019s findings will feed an Aviation Safety Plan of Action \u2014 materiel fixes, training adjustments, resource decisions \u2014 landing just as the FY2027 budget hearings get underway, where the political ask \u2014 for funded maintenance, for retention bonuses, for fleet recapitalisation \u2014 has to be defended against a Pentagon top line already stretched by Golden Dome and counter-drone programmes. The mishap rate is now part of that political argument, whether the services like it or not.<\/p>\n<p><em>Sources: Air &#038; Space Forces Magazine, US Air Force, Office of the Secretary of Defense.<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two EA-18G Growlers collided mid-air over the Mountain Home airshow in May.
