CAMP HUMPHREYS, South Korea — An F-35A Lightning II fighter jet crash-landed Tuesday on the runway of a South Korean air force base in Seosan, a city on the western coast, military officials told Stars and Stripes.
A South Korean air force official speaking on the customary condition of anonymity said the pilot made the emergency landing at 12:51p.m. Tuesday after the aircraft's landing gear failed. The pilot was safe and "walked out from the plane," the official said.
"Its landing gear should have been down, but it wasn't," the official told Stars and Stripes by phone. "So, it made a belly landing."
