It's the second time an Air Force F-35A has been destroyed in an accident since the jets began flying in 2012.
The Air Force declined to provide details about what, specifically, the safety inspections are looking to find.
Firefighters at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri extinguished a fire at the scene.
Investigators blamed the pilot for his jet’s demise, saying the airman could have regained control over the F-16.
