It seems that the US Marines lost an F-35 yesterday. The pilot was up joyriding on a training mission, and a "mishap" occurred. He ejected. Now they can't find the plane.
The pilot is fine. Really. We can keep chuckling.
It seems that an F-35 is a fairly smart aircraft, and when the pilot pinched out, the autopilot was engaged. So, the Marines went on Twitter to ask if anyone had seen a lots stealth fighter. Hilarity ensued.
I googled around this morning, to see if they've found their jet yet. There seems to be a media blackout on the whole thig. I wonder why?

It's a funny story but probably BS. You don't think a $65 million plane would have some kind of auto location device engage on bailout?
Or the USMC would know exactly where this happened and what course the airplane was on, and what the algorithm for the autopilot was? More BS.
The plane probably flew itself back to nearest military base and landed fine, and this whole thing was a test of that system. Notice no reports of a plane crash anywhere.

2 day shut down of all military aircraft??
They found it, appx 60 miles NW... sigh...
Why doesn't Brandon just ask the ChiComs where it is? They should be able to pinpoint it's location with all the backdoors they put into their chips.
.....Unless that autopilot took it to land wherever they wanted it to....
