Defensie luchtvaart ongevallen

Lijkt me onwaarschijnlijk omdat die een ander AA refueling systeem gebruiken.

Er zijn anders genoeg USAF vliegers die tijdelijk bij USMC vliegen en omgekeerd, maar het doet er niet toe.

Ach ja, voor hetzelfde geld betrof het een luchtmacht.

Hoezo? F35 raakt hercules, hercules land en f35 knalt beheerst richting grond en piloot gebruikt schietstoel.

De Herk land/crasht zwaar gehavend op één motor ja, kudos voor de crew.

Uitgaande van de schade ben ik benieuwd naar de manier waarop elkaar ze geraakt hebben. Bakboord brandstoftank en flap van de Herk ontbreken, terwijl ook beide stuurboord motoren naar de ballen zijn.

Tsja, marine vliegers he.

Wel een bizar ongeval dit, des te meer info er naar buiten komt des te vreemder wordt het.

Dit schijnt de neerstortende F-35B te zijn: https://twitter.com/thenewarea51/status/1311357843879198720

U stelt het wel erg simplistisch. Wacht eerst de onderzoeksresultaten af.
