Aviation Accidents

This year's rash of aviation accidents likely has root causes dating back years.

An F-16 Fighting Falcon from Luke Air Force Base crash landed during a training flight near the Arizona-California border.

Navy officials are looking into what caused a helicopter to make a hard landing during a recent training event.

The helicopter crashed April 27, 2017, while the Dewey was on a deployment to the Western Pacific with another destroyer.

Officials said that it was the first-ever successful landing of a B-1B experiencing this type of ejection seat mishap.

While one F-35A stealth fighter at Eglin was experiencing a nose gear malfunction, another F-35 experienced a bird strike.

The T-38 had experienced a series of failures in flight before it crashed 12 miles northwest of Laughlin Air Force Base.

One pilot was on board the F-35, but did not sustain any injuries as a result of the mishaps, the Air force said.

Chief Warrant Officer 3 Taylor J. Galvin, a Spokane, Washington native, was 34.

An Air Force Special Operations helicopter went down in a non-hostile crash in Iraq, killing one service member.
