A Marine investigation blamed the pilot of an advanced fighter jet for ejecting from the aircraft when he didn't need to, causing the F-35 to fly unmanned for 11 minutes before it crashed in rural South Carolina last year.

The jet suffered several system failures as the pilot tried to land at Joint Base Charleston in heavy rain in September 2023 after a 50-minute training flight with another F-35.
