An F-35 has crashed at Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Miramar in San Diego, California, on Friday morning, July 31, 2026, creating a localized brush fire and sending a large plume of dark smoke over nearby freeways. Base emergency crews and local firefighting units quickly responded to secure the scene, while a formal military investigation has been launched to determine the cause, though the pilot’s status and potential injuries remain unconfirmed.

Assigned to the 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing, Marine Aircraft Group 11, the aircraft appeared split into two pieces following the mishap on the flight line east of the runways, near Kearny Villa Road and State Route 52.

Airplane food tastes different because high-altitude cabin pressure and dry air numb your taste buds and dry your nasal passages, cutting your perception of salt and sweetness by 30%. This effect is worsened by loud engine noise, which distracts the brain from processing flavors. Additionally, strict airline safety rules require meals to be pre-cooked on the ground, chilled, and reheated in convection ovens, a logistical process that dries out meat and makes vegetables mushy.
