Pilot ejected and is fine.

But they lost the plane.

Don't know where it is and asking if anyone has seen it.

It's 10 o'clock, do you know where your $75 million airplane is at?

For lack of a $25 Apple AirTag.

This is the exact reason why you don't give aircraft to a marine.

If you have any information that may help our recovery teams locate the F-35, please call the Base Defense Operations Center at 843-963-3600.

The past 14 months or so have been pretty bad for Marine Corps aviation.

One of my favorite Space A passengers was a marine osprey pilot. We were shooting the **** quite a bit and he casually asked how often we lost objects or had to do a dropped objects form.

Apparently it's relatively common for them to drop windows in flight and has caused some relationship issues with the Japanese

TFOA briefs and inspections! I remember them well when I was with the wing. But yeah, in Okinawa, take off and approaches are so odd because you have to fly around all the schools on the ground.

Sometimes it's because someone plays with a door in flight, sometimes it's because something isn't secured adequately. Sometimes they're intentionally throwing something out the air craft and happen to get caught on camera. There was a helicopter door that fell off and actually onto a playground a few years ago. Kinda crazy. Lucky no one was on the playground at the time.

Some marines are convinced the chinese are planting some of these things to frame the marines.

TFOA - things falling off aircraft.

did the military claim that there is no radar track because the F-35 is so stealthy?
