An F-22A fighter jet crashed near Edwards Air Base in California on Wednesday. It is one of the most expensive Air Force Fighter, at $150 million. It is a single-seater, and crashed at about 10:30 a.m. The condition of the pilot is still unknown. The Fighter was on a training mission while it crashed. It ended up crashing about 35 miles northeast of Edwards Air Force Base. The plane was designed in the 1980s.I think this is a great loss. I don't understand how we can have such a great and powerful military, yet these types of things still happen. It is very unfortunate that that soldier in the Fighter lost his life while on a training mission. Hopefully, figuring out how this happened will help the military make their Fighters better so that this doesn't happen again. It makes you wonder how these things happen when they do. What could have possibly gone wrong to make this plane crash? Will investigators ever know the real reason? How will they know what really went wrong? What was going on with the pilot that caused the Fighter Jet to crash? Hopefully everything will be figured out so that the family of the pilot and the military will figure out all of this information so they can all rest easy.
