According to link here (https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/40761/aircraft-associated-with-nellis-air-force-base-has-crashed-in-las-vegas), the jet may be a Mirage F1M belonging to contractor Draken International, which flies aggressor jets.

a different plane story, but one FakeNewsMSM is pushing big-time, so post it here, because there isn’t a recent thread on the topic:

US State Dept, NED, possibly Soros - read it all:

21 Aug 2020: Irish Sentinel: WHY IS LUKSHENKO BEING COLOR REVOLUTIONED JUST NOW?
by F. William Engdahl
The globalist Powers That Be have clearly decided to topple the long-standing sole-ruler of Belarus, President Aleksander Lukashenko. The question is why at just this time? There is a case to be made that one reason is he is being destroyed for his unforgivable coronavirus...

The Murky Nexta
A key role in coordinating the “spontaneous” protests was played by a Warsaw-based texting and video channel called “Nexta,” based on the Telegram messaging app. Nexta, which is Belarusian for “somebody,” is nominally headed by a 22-year old Belarus exile based in Poland named Stepan Putila...

The co-founder and Editor in Chief at Nexta since March, 2020 is a Belarus exile named Roman Protasevich who used to work for the US Government’s propaganda media, Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty. Protasevich also worked for the Polish-based Euroradio which is partly funded by USAID. He was active in the CIA’s 2013-14 Maidan Square demonstrations in Kiev and according to his Facebook likes is close to Ukrainian neo-nazi Pahonia Detachment. In April 2018, Protasevich ends up at the US State Department in Washington, a notable contact. On his Facebook then he noted, “The most important week in my life begins.” The same day he posted a picture of himself inside the US State Department, stating “Never had so many important and interesting encounters in my life.”iii After he left Washington he went to work for the USAID-funded radio in Belarus Euroradio.fm on August 31, 2018. Two years later Protasevich is coordinating the anti-Lukashenko events from Warsaw via Nexta. Coincidence?...

Nexta claims it depends on “donations” and ads for funding, but claims to get no “grants” from governments or foundations. Whether true or not, it is an answer that gives little clarity. Is USAID one of their “donors” or the Open Society Foundations? The relevant point is that Nexta uses cyber technology that Belarus is not able to shut down. In 2018 the Russian governments unsuccessfully tried to ban Telegram for refusing to reveal their source codes...

I don’t know why, but Draken was my first thought.

Hopefully the aircrew safely got out of/ejected from the aircraft and there are no casualties on the ground.

But a KIng Air can only barely kill you whilst a fighter does a more complete job.

JP 4 was phased out in the 1990’s , and has been replaced with JP 8. I believe the Navy still uses JP 5.

It’s interesting, last year or maybe the year before I saw a Mirage jet loaded on a flatbed passing through Selma AL on Highway 80W.
