  • F-35 Crash Cause

    The F-35 crash at Eileson AFB on January 28th was the result of frozen water inside the nose gear strut. It had been serviced from a barrel of hydraulic fluid that was left outside at Kadena and got water in it. Weight on wheel sensors were falsely indicating thst the plane was on the ground and it became uncontrollable. The 196 million dollar plane was totally destroyed.
