@MCASBeaufortSC
to locate an F-35 that was involved in a mishap this afternoon. The pilot ejected safely. If you have any information that may help our recovery teams locate the F-35, please call the Base Defense Operations Center at 843-963-3600.

{Some people were saying that they were experimenting with AI. So did Skynet steal it? Was it hacked by someone? Does Zelenskyy have a new jet? How the EFFING HELL do you lose an 80 plus million dollar jet!?}

    Where do you think it is?  UKRAINE.

well. at least the military is workin' on those pronouns.

I'm surprised we just didn't evacuate a US base housing ukrainian refugees and leave all the equipment for them.

Don't you think if there was an unmanned plane flying potentially over the US there would be 24/7 coverage of this on CNN.

Could be don lemon's black hole devoured it.

It's like watching a really bad comedy unfold.

debris field found they say. Pilot's name not released...bet there might be a good reason for that. and we're still out an 85million dollar piece of machinery.

Why would the pilot do that?

Because...look at the pilots they're getting.

Look at the personnel they're getting...ossifer and enlusted.

You're rated on Gaydar and how good you look in the opposite sex's clothes. And even the better koledge grajewates, have trouble with, like, fraxions or negative-number thingies. They can't do basic arithmatic.

But they sure know how many "genders" there are, today. And they FOR-SURE know, men have babies.

You remember that female pilot who got wasted, Kara something-or-other?  That came not-that-many years after I got out of the Navy.  The captain of the USS Lincoln, was my captain on another ship.  So I read closely up on it.

She was always borderline, but for political reasons, now obvious, the brass didn't want to scrub her out.  Even after several incidents and near-accidents.

Well, in launch off the Lincoln, she lost control and then also didn't react with the ejection seat...so she hit the ocean at takeoff speed.  Probably there was enough left to put in a coffin...but not certainly.

This is just another step down that road.  Moar DRONES!...because our pilots are too stupid to learn to fly.  Welcome to Idiocracy.

I'm surprised the IFF wasn't working. That is keyed and op checked daily.
