A U.S. Air Force F-35 crashed during a training exercise at Eielson Air Force Base, Alaska, on Tuesday. The pilot declared an inflight emergency before ejecting safely and is now in stable condition. The aircraft sustained significant damage during the landing phase. Officials have launched an investigation to prevent future incidents. Eielson Air Force Base, located 25 miles south of Fairbanks, was selected in 2016 to host 54 F-35s, leading to a major expansion.
