Breaking News???? Fire at Hill AFB
Coming home from Riverdale and we saw three fighter jets in a line circling to land… kept driving through South Ogden and then a minute or two later saw a giant plume of smoke come up. Followed it here to the Adams Ave parkway entrance.pic.twitter.com/OGZcGVyXr9

这架隶属美国空军第388战斗机联队的F-35A,今日从犹他州希尔空军基地(Hill Air Force Base)起飞后不久即坠毁在跑道尾端,造成的火势很快由当地消防单位扑灭。
第388战斗机联队随后发布声明,表示飞行员在飞机失控当下即跳伞逃生成功,因此并未造成人员伤亡。
路克希德马丁公司目前已交付了超过700架F-35A给美国空军,而希尔空军基地是最大的F-35A驻扎点,并负责许多空军的训练、测试、维修和评估的工作。
目前确切的失事原因仍在调查中,后续将等待美国空军发布相关消息后持续更新。
