In this video, former Air Force F-16 pilot John "Rain" Waters discusses the recent crash of an F-35 at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska. The incident occurred on January 28, 2025, during the landing phase of a training mission. Fortunately, the pilot safely ejected and is currently in stable condition at a local medical facility. "Rain" provides a detailed analysis of the crash video, highlighting the aircraft's uncontrolled descent and the subsequent investigation process initiated by the Air Force.
The investigation will involve a Safety Investigation Board that aims to identify the cause of the malfunction and prevent similar incidents in the future. The findings from this internal investigation will be kept confidential, while a separate Accident Investigation Board will later release public findings, which could take several months to over a year.

Meanwhile, the F-22 Raptor is getting a major enhancement with the new IRST (Infrared Search and Track) system, increasing its ability to detect threats passively. We also break down Boeing’s massive $1.7 billion loss and how delays in programs like the T-7 trainer, KC-46 tanker, and Air Force One are costing billions. Plus, we discuss the Tower 22 attack anniversary, the Philippines' fighter jet procurement, and a United Airlines flight that left 38 passengers injured due to extreme turbulence.
