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.

There's the German F-104.

Legend says the easiest way to get your own F-104 is to buy a plot of land in West German and wait for one to crashed there.

starting to suspect they have Tim Cook as VP of planned obsolescence

I was reading in 2000 how problematic the F-35 would be. This joke/tragedy has been going on longer than I have been alive.

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)
