A flagship F-35  jet has crashed on landing at a Florida airbase—the second stealth jet to crash during training in the last five days.

The pilot ejected in time before their F-35 Lightning II crashed at Eglin Air Force Base last night, according to a statement from the Air Force, and is now in a stable condition in hospital.
