The US military "lost" an F-35 stealth fighter?

[bonneyman]

So many questions about this situation, even though it appears that they've now found the wreckage. They had to ask the public for help?
There was a "mishap"? The pilot managed to turn the autopilot on before ejecting? (I mean, if something happens that's so catastrophic that the pilot has to eject, is putting the thing on autopilot necessary?) There were two plans flying together - why did the second plane just left the unmanned jet fling without tracking it? There's no tracking or radar or transponder in place to be able to follow the jet to it's crash spot? What if it landed in a populated area - how do they explain that? Geez.

I guess they finally got the stealth systems on the Lightning working.

I would imagine the second plane stayed on station with the ejected pilot to make sure he was located safely.

As for it crashing in a populated area. Well like everything else with this administration. You blame Trump.

Gotta agree there are a lot of questions.  Doubt we will hear the answers, at least the real ones

Have we ever? Usually only 30-50+ plus years does the truth come out.

I guess it was flying near a storm, and apparently the F-35 electronics don't like electrical discharges. A warplane that can only fly in clear weather. Nice!
