In yesterdays news, there was a story about a “missing” F-35. The pilot ejected safely after a “mishap”. But the plane was “missing”…. Later, the wreckage was found.. two hours away. .
The article just said two hours, it didn’t specify two hours by air, car or turtle ride, just two hours.
Now, I could be wrong, as I frequently am, but the first thing that popped into my head, was that the “mishap” was that the pilot ejected unintentionally, and the plane, being just fine, kept on flying by itself. It was missing till they found where it crashed….
Thats my unsubstantiated theory….
“I was just tryin’ to find the little lever that scoots the seat back!”
What say you??
Happy Tuesday !
“I was just trying to find the little lever….!”
A 100 million dollar plane, poof, gone. I think pilots should go down with their plane trying to save it. You can train a lot of new pilots for 100 million.
