Couldn't make it up could you? 😂 I mean how do you lose an F-35?!?! It's not like losing a quid down the back of the sofa, is it? Surely it must have a black box tracker of some derivation, no? I mean I get that it's a stealth jet, so it's designed to be hard to find, but surely it's meant to be hard for others to track, not for the USAF themselves? And to think these incompetent, cloth-eared Bamfords have nukes. Pilot probably struck a deal with the Ruskies who are busy dismantling the aircraft at the bottom of Lake Marion as we speak 🙈 RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 I prefer "One of our dinosaurs is missing". Classic Christmas viewing. Wolfie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaaLocks Posted September 20, 2023 Share Posted September 20, 2023 I've seen "One of our defenders is missing" at least three times this season. Grumpy Git, RadioactiveWaste, WharfedaleRam and 1 other 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rarely watch the news nowadays. It all seems so implausible when you sit back and analyse it. RadioactiveWaste, Comrade 86 and ramit 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FindernRam Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 So: A pilot ejects from an apparently serviceable aircraft, deliberately, by accident(?) or a seat malfunction. The explosive/rocket ejector mechanism apparently does no damage to the aircraft which continues on its merry way on auto pilot, presumably until it runs out of fuel. The IFF transponder was apparently turned off so the plane was impossible to track. Unless the seat malfunctioned I think that is one pilot career finished!
