'Flying military aircraft is a risky business, we all understand that... Obviously, we're going to take the time to figure out why it happened and see if there's anything we need to do differently in the future.'
DAVIS COUNTY, Utah — An investigation is underway and local flying operations have been temporarily cancelled as officials look into what caused a crash involving an F-35 plane Wednesday night.
"It's a traumatic experience that not all of us go through," said Col. Craig Andrle, Commander of the 388th Fighter Wing."He's doing okay right now and we have a lot of resources for him." An interim safety board has been established to start the investigation process, however, there's no timeline for when the investigation may be concluded.
Since the crash happened at dusk Wednesday evening, it was difficult for officials to identify and process the scene of debris. Thursday morning, they were able to get a more full picture of what was left.
