A West Coast Marine F-35C Lightning II squadron has achieved initial operational capability.
The jet “experienced an incident involving collapse of the nose landing gear” on Jan. 26, a Marine spokeswoman said.
The Marine Corps already has deactivated some Harrier and Hornet squadrons as part of the transition to the F-35B and F-35C.
The Marine Corps has requested help from the public to locate the missing F-35.
