I am surprised that nobody as commented on the F-35B fire above - which happened on 27th Oct, but which the press release was snuck out the day before the elections. What is it they say about hiding bad news?
Note that it was a weapons bay fire which resulted in Class A $2M+ damage.
No mention of possible cause or ramifications. Engine, fuel leak, hydraulics, electrical?
What's the safety case for a major fire in a weapons bay filled with bombs and missiles?
And the pilot's notes? Fly around till it goes out - if you feel lucky? Do not bring it back anywhere near us?
