Missing F-35

[singsing]

There's no way they don't know where it's at.

Are you kidding? We've had naval ships plowing into cargo ships..McCain...Fitzgerald with some of the best radars on the planet. Techs there, not sure the brains are.

IFE ejection..

 

[LincolnSwinger]

Most expensive premature ejection in history?

 

[AgronAlum]

Maybe someone on the ground was really into the Fast and Furious movies.

 

[NWICY]

So he ejected out of a perfectly good aircraft?

How stupid do you look when you get back to the barracks and tell them you ejected out of a plane that was so good it continued to fly by itself.

And, then the stealth tech is so good our own people cant find it.

This is the 2nd one they've lost. Last yr something with the handling(?) went wrong and that one crashed also. Pilot survived.

 

[NWICY]

Articles say the transponder went out. It's a stealth craft, so it's designed to avoid radar detection. I know it seems impossible, but there is no way they go public asking for help with this if they could have avoided it. It's a PR nightmare.

China has search teams in the area already. (I'm guessing)

 

[c.y.c.l.o.n.e.s]

Supposedly has the radar cross section equal to a golf ball.

I always wondered if we had developed a way to overcome the stealth for when other countries developed it... apparently we haven't.

You are probably as good as we'll get here for knowledge on this so what do you think all happened?

(I don't know what your post means)

Yeah, what is an IFE ejection. Google was no help on this one.

Edit: Wait, when I google aviation IFE it say is stands for in flight entertainment. That's an expensive joyride!

My brother and I lost a couple model rockets in the neighbors cornfields back in the day. Maybe it’ll turn up during fall harvest.

So if this were unintended ejection, can we return it under warranty and get our money back?

Debris field found in Williamsburg County, SC.

Unintended like he was reaching under his seat looking for his bag of M&M's and accidentally hit the eject button?

I would think a professional pilot would have learned by now that when that is about to happen you can just think about baseball.

 

[khardbored]

I mean, it happened to Milhouse . . .

 

[Drew0311]

No one thought to put an AirTag on that thing?!!?!

Breaking news. Steve McFadden has just been hired by the Marine Corps

I do know of a fighter pilot whose call sign because he would bring food in his helmet bag…

Lunchbucket or something meaner?

No. The pilot had been daydreaming about the Roman Empire.
