U.S Navy halts its search for a Japanese F-35A stealth fighter that crashed last month, though Japan is continuing its search for the pilot and the aircraft filled with military secrets, mariyamaguchi writes.
TOKYO — The U.S Navy said Thursday it has suspended its search for a Japanese air force F-35A stealth fighter that crashed off Japan’s coast last month, after the allies scrambled to locate the aircraft filled with military secrets.
The Navy said in a statement that it was withdrawing after its salvage vehicle, CURV 21, found unidentified debris from the aircraft. It crashed in the Pacific off the eastern coast of Aomori in northern Japan during a night training flight April 9. It went missing about half an hour after taking off from the Misawa air base with three other F-35As.
Iwaya told the Upper House Diplomatic and Defense Affairs Committee that the U.S. salvage vehicle recovered parts of a flight data recorder but the flight data were missing. The joint effort using sonar search by the Japanese deep undersea vehicle Kaimei also located and recovered parts of a canopy and other equipment, he said.
“We will continue our search and recovery of the pilot and the aircraft that are still missing, while doing utmost to determine the cause,” he said.
