Miramar F-35 Crash: Pilot Ejected, Stable After Jet Goes Down Near Runway

An F-35B crashed near the flightline at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar; the pilot ejected and was transported to a local medical facility in stable condition for non-life-threatening injuries. The crash, which occurred around 10 a.m. near the base’s main hangars, is under investigation. The jet belonged to Marine Aircraft Group 11, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, at MCAS Miramar, a major F-35B base with a history of related incidents.

Haunting final audio emerges as cargo plane vanishes off Karachi coast

Haunting final audio emerges as cargo plane vanishes off Karachi coast

A Boeing 737 cargo aircraft operated by K2 Airways with five crew aboard disappeared after departing Sharjah for Karachi. Radar data showed rapid altitude changes, including a sudden descent and a sharp turn before contact was lost about 287 km west of Karachi. The last transmission reportedly indicated the plane was “rolling or floating.” Pakistan’s prime minister said the aircraft likely crashed into the Arabian Sea, and search-and-rescue operations involving the navy, air force, and ships have been deployed. The plane, manufactured in 1999 and later converted to a cargo aircraft, is reportedly K2 Airways’ only plane; if casualties are confirmed, it would mark Pakistan’s first fatal air crash since 2020.

B-52 Crashes After Takeoff at Edwards AFB, Runway Closed as Investigation Opens

A U.S. Air Force B-52 Stratofortress crashed shortly after taking off from Edwards Air Force Base in California on Monday morning. Emergency crews responded immediately, but officials have not confirmed how many crew members were aboard or if there were injuries. The airfield is closed and inbound flights are being diverted while investigators review the crash. The B-52H is an aging aircraft that has undergone upgrades, and the most recent fatal B-52 incident occurred in 2008.
