rogue F-35

Post by Troy »

Apparently, an F-35 fighter plane is flying, un-piloted, over the Carolinas. One of the problems with a stealth jet is that naturally, they can't find it.
strange situation is unfolding in South Carolina. An F-35B pilot ejected from their aircraft today around 2:00 PM local time in an area north of Joint-Base Charleston. The pilot landed under a parachute in a Charleston neighborhood and is in stable condition, but the advanced stealth fighter they ejected from is nowhere to be found.

This story is amazing. Do we know its range?

I guarantee you that the engineers are already putting together an upgrade where the F-35 will be trackable after a pilot's ejection.

They found it. It crashed in Williamsburg County, SC.

It would have been more fun if they never found it.

And if some redneck had turned it into a still.
