A naval F-35C jet went down in California on Wednesday near Naval Air Station Lemoore.
NAS Lemoore Public Affairs Officer Sarah Thrasher told Newsweek via email that the jet pilot “successfully ejected and is safe.” The F-35C was attached to the VFA-125 “Rough Raiders,” Thrasher notes.
She said the cause of the crash is under investigation and that no other personnel were affected.
