A flashlight left in the engine of an F-35 fighter jet at Luke Air Force Base in Arizona caused millions in damage. The incident, which occurred in early 2023, resulted in nearly $4 million in damages. The Marine Corps called 911 after an F-35 jet went missing in South Carolina last September. The US Air Force fighter jet's $14-million engine was destroyed by the flashlight after it was run without proper safety procedures. The incident raised concerns about maintenance practices and aviation safety.
