US Asks for Help Finding Missing F-35 Fighter Jet After Crash
Story by Kate Duffy •
1h

 
(Bloomberg) -- The United States’ military is on the hunt for an F-35 fighter jet that has gone missing following an incident that forced the pilot to eject from the advanced stealth aircraft over South Carolina.

Emergency response teams are trying to find what’s left of the F-35B Lightning II jet, which suffered what the military called a “mishap” on Sunday afternoon, according to social media posts by Joint Base Charleston, an air base in South Carolina. The unidentified pilot ejected safely and was taken to a local hospital in a stable condition.
 
Joint Base Charleston called on the public to cooperate with military and civilian authorities as the search for the F-35 jet continues. The air base said it was working with Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort to search for the plane north of North Charleston around Lake Moultrie and Lake Marion, based on its last-known location.

Is the government so busy unlawfully tracking law abiding citizens that it cannot keep track of a military aircraft in U.S. airspace? 🤔

It was my understanding that it fell into one of the larger lakes in the area.  If it was on auto pilot and was still under control, why the heck did the pilot eject?

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Actually that was my first thought.  We live in interesting time.

So, how exactly did this crash happen?  My other thought is that it was somehow sabotaged?

The memes are here about the Pentagon's missing F-35 and as always, the internet didn't miss

If you didn't hear, the military lost a super-expensive fighter jet yesterday and has no idea where it landed after the pilot ejected.

The military is now asking the American public for help.

Cue the memes!

Military Personnel Seen Wandering Forest Pressing Button On F-35 Key Fob
U.S. · Sep 18, 2023 · BabylonBee.com



HUGER, SC — A team of Marines was seen trudging through the woods, stopping every 30 feet to wave a key fob around in a 90° arc, say campers at Francis Marion National Forest. The Marines, who traveled in a tactical column, were allegedly on a mission to locate, close with, and recover the F-35 fighter jet that went missing Sunday evening.

"No contact," [redacted] whispered after stopping to listen for the 249th time. Sources confirm the missing F-35 never beeped in response to signals from the key fob, even if the unit leader did that thing where he tried to place it under his chin to use his head as a natural antenna to magnify its wireless range.

The marine rifle team, led by [redacted], has thus far been unable to find [redacted]. "We have [redacted] that cannot fall into the wrong hands," said [redacted].

Questions still surround the disappearance of the advanced fighter jet. Why did the pilot eject from a plane that was clearly not crashing? Why can't they locate it via transponder? Was radar just not being used that day for some reason? No, really, don't those things have GPS on them or something? Where could it have possibly gone? Was it aliens? It was aliens, right?

Officials at the Pentagon could not be reached for comment.

Have you checked Biden's garage, next to the Corvette?
How exactly is it that y’all lose an $80 million jet? Does it have Low Jack? hey, if the pilot has his phone with him and forgot to send the jet, you could do a Find My…Jesus take the wheel…

Debris reportedly found in South Carolina after F-35 stealth fighter jet disappearance
The debris could be from the missing Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II jet
 By Andrea Vacchiano Fox News
Published September 18, 2023 6:42pm EDT

A debris field has been located by military officials amid their investigation of the F-35 jet that disappeared in South Carolina on Sunday.

Joint Base Charleston told Fox News Digital that the debris field was found in Williamsburg County, South Carolina. Officials did not confirm that the debris was from the missing aircraft.

A pilot ejected from the aircraft on Sunday afternoon after a "mishap." The jet was a Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II that belonged to Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort.

The pilot landed on the ground safely and was treated at a local medical center.

".....As surprising as a rogue jet on autopilot may be, it wouldn't be the first time a military aircraft has flown on without its pilot. Toward the end of the Cold War, for example, one Soviet pilot witnessed his jet fly off without him after he ejected from it and continue flying for over 500 miles....

USMC Finds Missing F-35B Amid Aviation Safety Standdown
Steve Trimble Brian Everstine September 18, 2023

Credit: U.S. Marine Corps

A frantic search for a missing F-35B whose pilot safely ejected ended late on Sept. 18 after U.S. military officials discovered a debris field in a remote area of South Carolina.

The roughly 28-hr. search for the Lockheed Martin-made stealth fighter included an unusual request to the public for any tips on the F-35B’ss whereabouts and prompted the U.S. Marine Corps to announce a two-day aviation standdown to review safety procedures.

 The pilot was found on South Kenwood Avenue on the afternoon of Sept. 17 after ejecting less than a mile from the runway at Charleston International Airport, local news reports say. The pilot was transferred to a local hospital in stable condition, according to a statement by Joint Base Charleston.

But the aircraft continued flying in a northeasterly direction until finally crashing about “two hours northeast of Joint Base Charleston” in Williamsburg County, South Carolina, the Marine Corps said in a statement. If the hourly measurement referred to a driving distance, that would have put the debris field in the far northeastern corner of Williamsburg County.

I just wanna state for the record I have been warning the U.S. Govt about a potential leak of the Integrity 178B Operating System through south america for literally over a year and a half now…
Guess what OS powers the F-35…. Wait for it… wait for it…
Integrity 178B.
I told you so @NSACyber
6:03 PM · Sep 18, 2023


Green Hills Software produces the Integrity 178B Operating System that powers the F-35, F-22, F-16, and B-2. It also powers the Airbus A380. It was also quite possibly leaked. Now you understand why the entire USMC air fleet has been grounded.
