On Monday, two Japanese F-35A stealth fighter jets made emergency landings at a commercial airport in northern Japan due to a mechanical issue with one of the aircraft, with no injuries or damage reported.
One of the fighter jets from Misawa Air Base developed an unspecified mechanical problem during a training flight and requested an emergency landing at the nearby Aomori Airport. Officials confirmed that the aircraft landed safely.
The Japan Air Self-Defense Force refrained from providing details regarding the cause of the emergency landing.
The airport reported that the runway was closed for approximately 20 minutes due to the emergency landing.
In April, two Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force SH-60K Seahawk helicopters collided during an anti-submarine warfare exercise and crashed into the Pacific, resulting in one crew member’s death and seven missing.
Last month, a C-2 transport aircraft carrying eight people made an emergency landing at a commercial airport in central Japan after the cockpit window opened during a training flight. No damage or injuries were reported in that incident.
