Cornfield bomber!

Isn't $80MM really cheap for a fighter? Was this the four-banger version? Cloth seats?

The ejector seat is just a small trampoline you have to jump off of

I was thinking the same thing. I’ve seen it quoted as 100-135 mil.

Depreciation on those things is BRUTAL.

Hey, it's just the marketplace driving the price down.

Memo to all Marines:
Please point your plane downwards before punching out.
Thanks,
DoD

So, they still haven't found it? I'm thinking it was hacked by the Chinese who took it over and attached to one of their weather balloons. It's probably somewhere over the Atlantic on it's way to China by now.

No, they found it. Just not right away because it kept going after the pilot ejected (still unknown why they did) and the ejection and crash destroyed any transponders that the searchers could have been on.

the helmet is like $500k because they integrated the hud into it

Heh. Best thread ik weeks.

I'll chime in: in a few years we will get " F-35 bear, based on a true story".

I'd bet even titanium is no match for a hungry black bear. Pilot leaves a bag of chips under his seat and....

On the plus side, now we don't have to keep arguing with all those morons who said it wouldn't get off the treadmill.

That's cause this one takes off vertically fool.

I'm a bit surprised that the military doesn't know exactly where every airplane is that's in the air (and probably on the ground, too) at all times. Seems strange that an ejection would make it go dark.

Yeah; the reports I've heard state that the transponder wasn't signaling before it hit the ground, maybe even before pilot ejected.

Thanks for reminding me I want to incorporate “fool” into my conversations more. I can’t wait to hear why the pilot ejected. The military keeps saying he had a “mishap” like nobody’s gonna ask what that means. Did he spill coffee in his lap and accidentally pull the eject handle? Fishing around between his legs for a dropped phone maybe?

Don't text and fly kids.

RE: the transponder, it can be turned off. On any airplane. Technically, you don't even need one (or a radio) if you don't fly into controlled airspace.

News reports (so grain of salt) claim that it was unserviceable prior to the flight.

To paraphrase Strangelove, the whole point of a stealth aircraft is lost if it's trackable.

He flew single engine fighters in the Air Force, but this plane has four engines. It's an entirely different kind of flying, altogether.

He knows they are a metal bird with engines used to fly people and stuff around but that's not important right now..

I like gladiator movies

I was in the Air Force, stationed in Drambuie, on the Barbary Coast. Used to hang out in the Magumba Bar. It was a rough place. You would count on a fight breaking out almost every night. I didn't go there that night to fall in love; I just dropped in for a couple of drinks. But suddenly there she was.

It hit me like a thunderbolt. I had to ask the guy next to me to pinch me to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I was afraid to approach her, but that night, fate was on my side. We laughed, we talked, we danced, I never wanted it to end and I guess I still don't. But enough about me. I hope this hasn't been boring for you...

Can I get you something?

'S'mofo butter layin' me to da' BONE! Jackin' me up... tight me!
