lmfao it keeps happening

I have been alive for probably longer than most lemmy users and I can not remember even 1/10th of this many stories about any other military aircraft so frequently just doing that than with the F-35.

this many stories

You get whatever the media is focused on. Hundreds of F16s have been lost to non-combat accidents throughout history, yet somehow we have no memory of them.

I'd be interested in learning more if you have details

I didn't mean it's like a conspiracy. Military accidents is just something that happens almost every week. For example: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_accidents_and_incidents_involving_military_aircraft_(2000%E2%80%932009)
