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

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

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?

I can find a $20 Tile tracker anywhere on earth.
I understand that a 1982 Volkswagen Rabbit wouldn't have such tracking ability, but something of insane value and technology, it's laughable to not have constant real-time location.

Pilot put it in autopilot and ejected himself. No indication that it has crashed. WTF
Is this TexAgs or the Babylon Bee?Quote:
1. Perhaps he was just trying to show off.
2. Hadn't parachuted in a while and got the urge.
3. Could have just gotten tired of flying and decided to stop for the time being.

LOL
We were returning from Virginia Beach and flying out of Norfolk. My family and I were sitting until time to board the jet. This older pilot dude walked past the counter, spoke to the girl there, then proceeded to make several attempts to punch in the code in the door lock behind her. Several tries. Figured he was drunk or on drugs, but he wasn't our pilot.Robert L. Peters said:
Every day, I'm more and more convinced that we have children pretending to know wtf they're doing. We are in big trouble and I cringe every time I get in a jet liner. These aren't the men we had 30 years ago.

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.

Ironically it's the same women though.
How would knowing the pronouns help you determine the gender?Ulysses90 said:rangerdanger said:Robert L. Peters said:

What the hell kind of journalistic standards are they practicing here? It's been several hours and we haven't had anyone tell us the pilot's pronouns yet. Are they going to just let us casually assume we know the gender of the pilot?
You just apparently spew it all over TexAgs...LarryElder said:
