The United States Air Force is one of the most powerful in the world, and tons of money is invested daily. The army, in general, is one of the strongest in the world, and many people can be proud of that.

The United States is confident in its military, spending over $900 billion on it in 2023. That total dollar amount accounts for over 10 percent of the government’s total budget spending, and now, there may be some questions that need to be answered.

Recently, a video went viral from the Eileson Air Force Base in Alaska of a scary plane crash that could have ended very deadly. In the video, the plane, which is the F-35A, can be seen swirling around as it falls from the sky.

Luckily, the pilot of the aircraft was not injured in the fiery crash as they can be seen floating to the ground after ejecting themselves using the ejection chair in the plane. At the time of this writing, there do not seem to be any significant injuries.

The pilot was transported to a local hospital after ejecting themself from the plane, and emergency responders were immediately called to the scene of the crash, according to authorities who commented on the crash.

According to some sources, the plane involved in the crash cost between $80 million and $100 million to make, which is an insane number that has seemingly just been thrown down the drain after the plane crashed.

While it’s unclear what the next steps are for continuing the development of these aircraft, the United States Air Force is planning an entire investigation into the crash and why it happened. Obviously, the hope is that everything turns out okay.
