Marine Corps F-35 crashes in South Carolina

A US Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter crashed in South Carolina on Friday, less than one day after an F-35B made its combat debut in Afghanistan.

It’s the first F-35 crash in the history of the F-35 program, though there have been several other incidents like fires and equipment malfunctions.

A US Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II Joint Strike Fighter crashed on Friday in South Carolina just outside Marine Corps Air Station in Beaufort, several news outlets including ABC News reported, citing military officials.
