The jet was mid-air when the pilot was having these long conversations and even tried to fix the problem with the nose landing gear through two touch-and-go landings.
The F-35A is now the second most employed fighter in the US Air Force's inventory, after only the F-16 Fighting Falcon.
An Air Force investigation has revealed that the recent F-35 crash in Alaska took place after water in the plane’s hydraulic fluid froze in the sub-zero temperatures.
An Air Force investigation blamed the crash on ice in the hydraulic lines in the nose and main landing gears of the F-35, which prevented them from deploying properly.
Attempts to fix the landing gear caused the fighter jet to think it was on the ground, ultimately leading to the crash.
