Moreover, earlier in California, near the Lemoore airbase, an accident occurred involving an F-35 fighter jet, in which the pilot managed to eject. A medical plane also crashed in Arizona, resulting in the death of four people.

Incident with a Passenger Plane

Another incident occurred in the skies over the US involving a United Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8, which was operating flight UA1093 from Denver to Los Angeles. The aircraft was forced to make an emergency landing in Salt Lake City due to a crack in the cockpit windshield. One crew member sustained minor injuries.
