Ja, ja, det var jo nødt til å skje etterhvert det også... Får bare håpe det gikk bra med piloten og at man slapp unna med rene materielle skader.

LM Mourns the Loss of F-22 Test Pilot David Cooley

FORT WORTH, Texas, March 25, 2009

Lockheed Martin test pilot David Cooley, 49, was killed Wednesday at about 10 a.m. Pacific time in the crash of an F-22 aircraft flying on a test mission from Edwards AFB, California. We are deeply saddened by the loss of David and our concerns, thoughts and prayers at this time are with his family. David joined Lockheed Martin in 2003 and was a 21-year veteran of the U.S. Air Force. He worked at the F-22 Combined Test Force, where a team of Lockheed Martin and Air Force pilots conduct F-22 aircraft testing.

Dette er vel det andre F-22 chrashet. Det var ett helt i begynnelsen av testprogramment, også på Edwards.

Det er masse videoer av dette på nettet.

Du tenker på den som logrer med halen mens den buklander? YF-22 det vel. De regner ikke det som samme flyet.

Hehe..

Det gikk en i 2004 utenfor Nellis AFB , NV. Mener det var teknisk feil på flyet som førte til at den gikk ned. Da kom piloten seg uskadet (mer eller mindre) fra hendelsen. Denne gangen gikk det ikke så bra.

Details
Crashed on take-off from Nellis AFB, Nevada at 15.40 hours. At the moment the wheels left the ground the aircraft began a series of un-commanded roll and pitch maneuvers that quickly became more violent. The pilot ejected moments before impact and the aircraft wreckage remained within Nellis AFB grounds.

Cause of the loss came about through a unique set of circumstances. The Flight Control System was inoperative at the time of the crash. A pilot must run the Initiate Built in Test (IBIT) on engine start in order to insure a fully functioning Flight Control System. The pilot shut down the engine for quick maintenance work and thought Auxiliary Power Unit (APU), which was running, would provide power for the Flight Control System. Believing the APU provided power to the Flight Control System, the pilot thought another IBIT after engine restart was unnecessary and taxied for his sortie. However the APU didn't provide continuous power and another IBIT should have been performed. Running the IBIT would not have corrected the issue but would have warned that the Flight Control System had a serious failure. As the engine shut down there was a power interruption that caused a catastrophic failure of the Flight Control System.
