Pilot Ejects From $100 Million Fighter Jet As It Spirals Out Of Control And Nosedives Onto Tarmac

After a fighter jet nosedived onto the runway, the pilot was forced to leave the aircraft.

When things started to go south when the F-35B was landing in Fort Worth, Texas, the pilot took emergency action.

The airplane can be seen descending before turning over on its nose and spewing smoke in the footage.

The aircraft eventually loses control, and the pilot can be seen ejecting and taking off through the air before landing with a parachute.

A US government pilot was operating the aircraft at the time of the incident, according to the Pentagon.

Although the White Settlement Police Department indicated they would be "okay," their condition is now unknown.

The department stated in a statement posted on Facebook: "Thankful that we received word that the pilot will be okay.”

"Your WSPD team responded to an emergency call for assistance to secure and patrol perimeter fencing along the runway around 10:15 a.m. this morning.”

"We have a great relationship with Lockheed Martin and the Naval Air Station - Joint Reserve Base and quickly responded and coordinated our public safety response to assist their teams."

The incident will now be investigated, according to the manufacturer of the aircraft, Lockheed Martin.

Its statement read: "We are aware of the F-35B crash on the shared runway at Naval Air Station JRB FW and understand that the pilot ejected successfully.”

"Safety is our priority, and we will follow appropriate investigation protocol."
