Anyone with information about the jet's whereabouts is urged to contact JB Charleston Base Defense Operations Center at 843-963-3600.

Let's let the story develop.
If you say you hate the state of politics in this nation and you don't get involved in it, you obviously don't hate the state of politics in this nation.
Well, it's stealth.
Makes sense that nobody can find it.

How does all modern US military equipment, including what is sold to other nations, not have a remote location and kill switch?
It's definitely not in my garage. For real, no need to search in there or anything.
That doesn't sound like a "mishap"? Any idea where the plane is headed and where it might come down?
On another note, I lost my stealth jet in a boating accident
Based on the jet’s last-known position and in coordination with the FAA, we are focusing our attention north of JB Charleston, around Lake Moultrie and Lake Marion.

You have a source for that? That's not what your link said. Good Lord.
But this thread is off and running based on that nonsense.
Where did you see that? I've only seen "mishap".Quote:

I guess I'm confused.
Can you eject while in autopilot? Like eject and the plane just keeps trucking on that heading until it runs out of fuel?
Certainly some frustrated controllers watched this thing through their whole airspace.

The report of being put on autopilot is nonsense. No way that would be public knowledge this soon after the incident.
And if you put the plane in autopilot, and it was flying and stable, there is no reason to eject.
I suspect you can eject while in autopilot, but I can't come up with a reason why you would.

The pilot dropped a chicken nuggie and accidentally grabbed the election handle while looking for it down there.

Crazy people do unpredictable crazy stuff.
Some depressed or disillusioned pilot pulling a handle isn't out of the realm of possibility.
Exactly. Its happened before, with pilots and passengers, even on accident.Esteban du Plantier said:CanyonAg77 said:Esteban du Plantier said:

Do you know the pilot?
The guy that has it. Well, he thinks it sounds like aliens Clark.

According to officials pilot enabled unspecified automated flight system and then ejected.

1) Bullcrap
2) "On accident" is the most grating piece of bad grammar out, barely beating out "tow the line"

After successfully integrating its Joint Precision Approach and Landing System (JPALS) on F-35B fighters and a growing number of US Navy aircraft carriers and amphibious assault ships, Raytheon is pitching a modified version of the system to the US Air Force for auto-landing F-35A aircraft at expeditionary airfields.
Initially designed to help a pilot land on an aircraft carrier in poor visibility or after long, tiring flights, the auto-landing system can put down an aircraft in a 20cm by 20cm box, says Raytheon.
I'm hoping that's a typo or bad writing, Twenty centimeters?

Isn't it a stealth aircraft, can they see it on civilian radar? Is it transponding?
What does that mean?
Quote:
That pilot has since been found and taken to an area hospital for treatment and is said to be stable. However, the search continues for the pilot's aircraft, which authorities say doesn't appear to have crashed.
This just in: journalists are idiots

What's your theory? Aliens, Russians, Klaus Schwab? A plane the price of a football stadium just genuinely disappears?
What happened?

Well for all intensive purposes he still got his point across.

What happened?
It crashed. It's like the seventh or eighth.

I'm trying to discern what price has to do with disappearing.
Planes are relatively small. Swamps, pine forests, and lakes are very big. Remember the Swamp Fox, Francis Marion? Got his name because his entire army would disappear into the swamps around Charleston, and the Brits couldn't find them.
Why would the pilot eject if it was on "autopilot"?Dan Scott said:F-35 jet reported missing by authorities after pilot ejects during 'mishap': Officials https://t.co/fSARmPQa1S
