Worldwide F-35 fleet grounded temporarily for inspections related to crash
The worldwide fleet of Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II aircraft was grounded for inspections after a problem with the aircraft’s engine fuel tube was discovered, which is believed to be related to the first crash of the stealth fighter a few weeks ago.
The F-35 Joint Program Office (JPO) requested on 10 October that the US Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps inspect the aircraft’s Pratt & Whitney F135 turbofan before flying again.
Some aircraft have already resumed flights after inspections, such as those at Lockheed Martin’s Fort Worth, Texas facility and Luke Air Force Base, while others continue to undergo tests of the fuel tube.
