Marine Corps called 911 to report missing F-35 jet in South Carolina after 'mishap'
The jet went missing in 2023 before its remnants were found in a rural area.

Newly released audio files show that the Marine Corps called 911 after one of their F-35 fighter jets went missing in South Carolina last September.

The F-35 experienced what Marine Corps officials referred to as a "mishap" over the skies of the state's Lowcountry region on Sept. 17, 2023, according to military authorities.

The pilot survived after reportedly being ejected from the jet and parachuting down to a residential neighborhood in North Charleston, but the F-35 continued traveling until it disappeared from view, prompting officials to try to track down its location.

"I believe we potentially have an aircraft that went down in Williamsburg County earlier today," a major from Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort told a Williamsburg County 911 dispatcher.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

I'm surprised since the police don't likely use electric vehicles and the pollution from those gas guzzlers would have increased global warming. wink777
