Mystery Plane’s Crash Probe End, AF Says
Military investigators have finished work at the site of last month’s mysterious crash of an aircraft believed to be a top-secret stealth fighter, leaving behind only a scorched patch of ground, authorities said Thursday.
Edwards Air Force Base spokesman Don Haley said all investigators and security personnel were withdrawn Wednesday from the crash site in the Kern River Canyon near the Sequoia National Forest. The wreckage had been removed earlier.
He said no other information about the July 11 crash, the type of aircraft, its mission or the pilot who was killed would be released.
