An F-22 Raptor fighter jet suffered a mishap upon landing at Eglin Air Force Base, Florida, on Tuesday, a spokesperson for the 325th Fighter Wing told Air Force Times. No one was hurt in the accident.
According to unverified photos posted to social media that afternoon, the jet’s left main landing gear collapsed when it touched down on the runway around 10 a.m. local time. The destabilized plane veered off and came to a stop, resting nose-down in the grass.
“The pilot is in good condition and has been released from the 96th Medical Group’s care following evaluation,” Capt. Sarah Johnson said in an email Tuesday.
