    How does the USAF lose a J-35 fighter plane?

    https://www.zerohedge.com/military/h...t-after-mishap

    Let me find the ways...

    Ostensibly, the pilot ejected due to some mishap, while leaving the auto-pilot engaged...and the plane just kept flying on.

    Firstly...if the plane was operational enough to continue flying on, why did the pilot eject?

    Secondly...this was near the Atlantic coast...why didn't the pilot direct the plane toward the ocean, disengage the auto-pilot, then eject?


    Allow me to speculate a bit here, given our treasonous, CCP loving commucrat leaders.

    One...the pilot never actually ejected, that's just the spin.

    Two...they stuffed a second pilot somewhere (the plane ostensibly only holds one) and he now controls the plane.


    Either way, that plane is now on the way to China to be dismantled, software and hardware reverse engineered...


    Dammit...I needed a good new conspiracy theory...all my old ones have come to fruition!!!

    Sounds plausible to me.
    Even easier than stuffing a second pilot in "somehow" would be a radio remote control system like they use on drones.

    Stop calling it a conspiracy theory...
    The correct term is:
    SPOILER ALERT!

    Ah...the third option...the "Spoiler Alert" deepens.

    What?!?!

    You DON'T believe the story the media is giving?

    Why, that's worthy of you being canceled and de-platformed and borderline treasonous.....just wait until the DOJ and FBI read this....you are toast, now. Yup, toast.

    They're going to be paying you a visit around 3:30-4:00 A.M. soon.

    I have a good friend who is close to if not has the highest flight time in an F-35. His chief complaint is how tight the cockpit is and how uncomfortable the seat it. So the idea of a second pilot in-plane is not physically possible, but a drone jockey in some building somewhere could be, but I seriously doubt it because of the way a pilot exits the aircraft. I might try contacting my friend about what the aircraft would be configured like after ejection but I would guess the answer would be confidential.

    As to turning it to the Atlantic, it is possible the pilot couldn't turn the plane which would cause the need to get the puck out.

    My guess is that the plane is at the bottom of one of the lakes in the area, but I would suspect an oil slick and debris on the surface, so queue Rod Serling and the Twilight Zone theme.

    Of course this would remind me of that movie broken arrow.

    F106 flew for hours after ejection and landed in a field https://www.historynet.com/f-106-the-cornfield-bomber/ Mig 23 flew from Poland to Belgium before crashing pilotless. It happens. https://www.outono.net/elentir/2023/...lgium-in-1989/

    And the article uses one of those wonderful weasel words...the debris field "could" be from the missing jet.

    I believe they call that, "plausible deniability".

    This guy's earwitness account of the F-35 flying over just before the crash is worthy of legend.

    Ho Lee CRAP!!!

    Watching the video, then at 0:47 when he described the sound it made going overhead?...

    Okay: I CAN NOT be the only one here who expected him to end that screech with:

    "Another man done gone!"
