Video circulating on social media appears to show the charred runway following the crash. It’s unclear what caused the incident or if anybody was injured.
“Praying for the crew, the families, and the first responders at Edwards Air Force Base. God bless our service members,” House Republicans wrote on X, accompanying the message with an image of the American flag.

I am just an average American. My teen years were in the late 70s and I participated in all that that decade offered. Started working young, too young. Then I joined the Army before I graduated High School. I spent 25 years in, mostly in Infantry units. Since then I've worked in information technology positions all at small family owned companies. At this rate I'll never be a tech millionaire. When I was young I rode horses as much as I could. I do believe I should have been a cowboy. I'm getting in the saddle again by taking riding lessons and see where it goes.
