Anyone find a wayward F-35 today? The Marine Corps may want to talk to you as they don't know where it is either and have "asked the public for help".

I’m scouring Craigslist for the For Sale ad. I’d assume it would be listed in aviation but am checking Heavy Equipment, Recreational Vehicles, as well as Toys&Games.
Guess that stealth technology has come a long way.

It went down in SC somewhere? If so, the fuselage has already been turned into a barbecue pit.

The finder/seller should register as a foreign agent and expand his market exposure
Pilot could have had an accomplice... Disable the beacon.. Pilot bails with a story of plane being unresponsive.. Leaving the accomplice to fly to some remote location to stash the 80 million dollar score.Quote:

It could have crashed into a dad and daughter dance!Quote:

It's a Decepticon better know as Starscream.
I think the MCAS should consider giving this guy a call

When he finds the person who stole it he's going to let them have a smoke in the back of the SUV while he prays for them before turning them in.Quote:

Maybe the transponder had the same issue as the PIEPS beacons and turned itself off? I wonder if you can warranty an F35 from Lockheed Martin?Quote:

Marine Corps team has been scouring the Lowcountry searching for the F-35B Lightning II fighter jet after its pilot ejected Sept. 17 and surfaced in a North Charleston neighborhood.
Solid theory.Quote:

there might be something to this. It WAS the marine corps variant of the F35 with the vertical takeoff/landing capability so it legitimately could have been set down and backed into an apartment complex's carport. Helluva way to show up to a tinder date, id say. Hoorah marine!Quote:

C'mon, you can't say you don't want oneQuote:

Just heard that they found some debris. Oh well
Didn't Rummy say 2.3T was unaccounted for days before 9/11. This is pocket change..
They found it before I could drop this photo if the pilot..

The cornfield bomber is my favorite ghost ride plane. In 1970 a F-106 pilot ejects, plane goes on until it runs out of fuel then glides to a field. "Any less damage and they could have flown it out of the field". After repair the jet returned to service.
