The Brief An F-35B crashed Friday morning at Marine Corps Air Station Miramar in San Diego. The U.S. Marine Corps says the pilot of an F-35B stealth fighter is expected to survive after ejecting before the aircraft crashed in California. A single F-35B fighter jet costs about $109 million. Marine Corps Air Station Miramar used to host the Navy fighter pilot training school depicted in the original "Top Gun" movie, and was known as "Fightertown USA" in its heyday. The school was relocated to Naval Air Station Fallon in Nevada in 1996 after the base was transferred to the Marine Corps.
