The jet had been flying from a Lockheed Martin facility at the Naval Air Reserve Station in Fort Worth, Texas to Edwards Air Force Base in California when it crashed.
An Air Force pilot was injured after ejecting from an F-35B jet, which crashed in Albuquerque, New Mexico on Tuesday, officials said.
The plane, which costs a cool $135 million, smashed into the ground just south of Albuquerque International Sunport around 1:50 p.m. after refueling at Kirtland Air Force Base, according to KOB4.
The pilot, the only person on board, ejected safely and was taken to the University of New Mexico hospital in stable condition, according to the city’s fire department and military officials.
