F-22 crashes in California desert near air base

[zombie:-)]

crashing a plane will not hurt much if it were cheap bit this will hit hard mainly because of cost

Yeah, but the pilot and plane survived that crash.Just minor damages.Anyway this is a huge loss USAF.I am sure F22 Pilot's are the most experienced USAF Pilots.

the article states TEST PILOT hence hell be experienced but all of the f-22 pilots are not the most experienced ...just the first squadron of the mwere converted from highly experienced f-15e pilots but later on they tell that only young ilots will be selected coz the way of operating a gen fighter jet is completely different from the 4 gen ....he said if a f-15 pilot sees an enemy aircraft ..it means the enemy can see him too and the pilot starts to take evasive maneuvering but its simply not required and said kids grown with play station or play station generation are more easy to be adapted on the f-22 so not all or even most of them are highly experienced fighters flying a different platform previously

This just goes to show that nothing is perfect and i can bet that the f-35 will also see a few accidents in it's lifetime.

I certainly hope not, these beasts look mighty and beautiful at the same time, they demand respect and simply are fantastic to look at, I hope they won't eat dirt or sand in their lifetime, they're too stunning for that, unless ofcourse they're used against us (I doubt).
