F-22 Raptor Came To A Rest On Its Side After Making Emergency Landing In Alaska

Details remain very scarce at this time, but what we do know is that an F-22 flying from Elmendorf Air Force Base and assigned to the 3rd Wing based there made an emergency landing that resulted in the jet coming to a rest on its side, with what appears to be one wing touching the ground. The pilot was able to exit the aircraft safely and the mishap is currently under investigation. It is yet another in a recent spate of F-22 landing mishaps, one that occurred at NAS Fallon and one at Tyndall AFB, that have left two other aircraft sidelined for extensive repairs. We were the first outlet to confirm both of those incidents last Spring.
Indications of a mishap were first reported by the always lively Air Force amn/nco/snco Facebook page. We still don't know what exactly the extent of the damage to the jet is or what caused the pilot to make an emergency landing. The F-22's special radar-evading skin, composite construction materials, and unique airframe structures can make the aircraft very expensive to fix. Considering there are already two F-22s that are in need of extensive structural repairs, this one may have to get in line.

After inquiring with Elmendorf AFB public affairs about the incident, they released this statement to us:
An F-22 Raptor assigned to JBER’s 3rd Wing made an emergency landing on JBER’s active runway at approximately 1 p.m. local time today. The pilot was able to egress the aircraft safely.
The incident is under investigation, more details may be released as they become available.
Considering there are only about 187 Raptors in the USAF's inventory, of which only about 125 are combat coded at any given time, the loss or even the sidelining of a single airframe can have a big impact. Case in point, the USAF spent 25,000 man-hours of labor just to get a perfectly straight F-22 back in the air and updated after spending six years in storage:
Bewildering facts about Raptor 4006, the resurrected test F-22 that was in storage for 6 years:
-25,000 labor man-hours to get it back in the air
-11,000 fixes
-Service life extension from 2k to 4k hours
-This equates to 12.5 labor hours per flight hour
-27 months to complete pic.twitter.com/svHAyVTDkG

In addition, we still don't know how many F-22s, if any, were damaged after Hurricane Michael slammed directly into Tyndall AFB in Florida. It is possible that the USAF could suddenly have to deal with a number of additional Raptors that have been structurally damaged in some way.
Let's hope that's not the case.
We will update this story as more information comes available.

Пресловутая невидимость F-35 потерпела фиаско от российских систем ПВО С-300, об этом сообщает агентство "SANA"
Из материалов следует, что в ходе подготовки вторжения в воздушное пространство Сирии со стороны Израиля, впервые были применены самолеты 5 - го поколения, а именно истребитель - бомбардировщик F-35, операция как излагает источник, направлена была на провокацию и проверку готовности систем ПВО С-300, поставленные Российской Федерацией в ответ на сбитый по вине израильских пилотов российский самолет Ил-20.
В ходе подготовки операции, звено из 4 самолетов невидимок F-35, было обнаружено и взято на сопровождение российским комплексом С-300, после чего самолеты ретировались из зоны охвата ПВО ЗРС С-300

" 11 октября на авиабазе Флорен в Бельгии взорвался истребитель F-16, два человека получили ранения.
Взрыв полностью уничтожил самолет, сообщает DH со ссылкой на источники. Инцидент произошел во время наземного техобслуживания истребителя.
Двое военных получили незначительные ранения. Также небольшой ущерб получил стоящий рядом самолет.
Расследование причин взрыва проводит Дирекция по безопасности полетов (ASD). Минобороны Бельгии назвало инцидент «серьезным», и собирается провести пресс-конференцию на базе Флорен, где расскажет о причинах случившегося.
General Dynamics F-16 Fighting Falcon – американский многофункциональный легкий истребитель четвертого поколения. На вооружении Бельгии стоит 50 самолетов F-16 AM и 10 самолетов F-16 BM.
