delu aviona,nema povredjenih za sada,ne zna se ni tacna steta(postoji verovatnoca da je avion i izgoreo)kazu da ce info biti dopunjen.

Citat:A Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter was severely damaged — possibly destroyed — in a Monday morning fire on the runway at Eglin Air Force Base, Fla., USNI News learned.

No injuries were reported and officials have begun an investigation into the incident, defense officials told USNI News on Monday.

“The aircraft was preparing to conduct a continuation training mission at the time of the incident, but aborted during takeoff at Eglin Air Force Base due to a fire in the back end of the aircraft,” according to a Monday statement provided to USNI News from the Air Force.
“Emergency responders extinguished the fire with foam.”

The aircraft was a F-35A — the Air Force variant of the fighter — assigned to the 33rd “Nomads” Fighter Wing. The wing is schoolhouse for all versions of the JSF and trains sailors, airmen and Marines.

Ipak su ih sve prizemljili.
F-35 In Fire Was Recent Delivery
Citat:All F-35s remain barred from flight operations as investigators continue to explore the cause of the fire in the aft end of an F-35A as it prepared for takeoff at Eglin AFB, Florida.

Some test aircraft were flying as of June 25 at Edwards AFB, California, and NAS Patuxent River, Maryland, says Kyra Hawn, a program spokeswoman. But as of June 26, flights are suspended for safety reasons. Some test assets, however, have been cleared for ground use at the test centers.
Citat:A determination has not yet been made on the cost of the damage to the aircraft that caught fire, but it is likely to be the first F-35 class A mishap.

Citat:Italy has also frozen the signing of new JSF contracts following a vote last year in parliament over budget concerns. Pinotti said that only six aircraft have been contracted from the program’s low rate initial production (LRIP) 6 and 7.

Ipak ce morati biti ovako....
All F-35s Grounded Until Inspection Completed

Citat:U.S. and British military officials are working on a joint directive to require mandatory inspections of engines on all Lockheed Martin Corp F-35 fighter jets, after an Air Force F-35A caught fire at a Florida air base last week, said sources familiar with the situation.

Citat:One of the sources said the engine involved - and about six feet of debris found on the runway around the jet - were shipped to Pratt's West Palm Beach facility on Tuesday for a more detailed inspection.
