Two F-35Bs came down the approach into Miramar that Friday morning. The first one landed clean. The second one began the transition into a hover and then the nose came down. Everything after that took less than two seconds. The investigation board is months from a finding, and the black box has not spoken. So we did what that board is doing right now: we built the list of things that can make one column of thrust go quiet on an F-35B, and walked each one through the evidence already in the open. Two systems can do it. And a third system on that aircraft already told us what it saw because it is the one thing in this entire event that ran start to finish and left its work at the scene. This is the story of why the only fighter in American service permitted to eject its own pilot is also the only one that ever needed to be. #USAirForce #ClassifiedDecoded #F35B #Miramar #AutoEject https://youtu.be/dx5WXRWN9Z8
