F-35: The Sky’s Most Expensive Firework Show
The latest Navy F-35C 'went down' near Naval Air Station Lemoore, adding to the jet's growing crash résumé. The pilot ejected safely, but the fiery wreckage turned a cotton field into an unplanned barbecue. The article dove into the F-35 saga, noting it as the Pentagon's 'most expensive weapons program' with a history full of mishaps from midair refuel collisions to autopilot jet abandonments.

The F-35 program: turning taxpayer cash into expensive skieside bonfires since 2018. At this rate, it’s less stealth fighter, more accidental fireworks display.
Congratulations to the F-35, the only plane that earns 'crash course' a terrifyingly literal meaning. Boeing better start recruiting firefighters, not pilots.
