So, uhh, we lost one out by Charleston, South Carolina, yesterday after a mishap (pilot had to eject, but it was on auto-pilot, so don't ask) so if you see it, call 843-963-3600

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/f-35-fighter-jet-missing-pilot-ejects-mishap-rcna105534

And also, any of your friends/family/whoever that is somehow extremely outraged by this because apparently the loss of a $135 million aircraft is going to bankrupt the country, even though they normally never ever fucking give a shit about a lot of other government expenditures, gently, but really fucking loudly, remind them that:

1. The fucking thing is not flying to China no matter how much they shit their pants
2. It's a fucking stealth fighter with a fucking cross-section the size of a fucking golfball, so of fucking course the fucking radars and fucking air traffic control can't find the fucking thing if the fucking transponder is off so stop fucking acting like this is some kind of fucking conspiracy to be fucking outraged over. Yeah, it sucks to lose it, but I don't know, maybe this helps prove that the design is really fucking good, but maybe that's just me. Maybe I like stealth fighters that aren't visible to radar.

Plus it happened not far from some large lakes, and if nobody called in a large explosion/fireball on land, maybe it's underwater.

Be like the F-106 in Montana except it glided into the Ocean instead of a wheat field.

106 was/is a flying missile with little penguin wings and probably glides about as well as one assuming it could fly.

Certainly not flying to china but what are the odds of "chinese americans or chinese tourist" in the area now taking in nature?

There's a YouTube documentary that talks about how they easily repaired it and put it back in service for another 15 years, and the pilot who ejected from it, flew it around a decade later.

 I always loved the F-106, the design was just beautiful.

Ah, correct - I was thinking about the Starfighter.  Good catch

They should have placed an Apple tag on the jet 

[InkaUtexas 26,022]

How the fuck did we lose a F-35? Why was the transponder off if not on a combat operation. I think the pilot has a lot to explain to some superior officers. I hope he likes mess duty for a bit.

Some future episode of American Pickers is gonna be LIT.

"Earl, let's see what you've got in that barn over there."

"That ole barn?  Heck, I haven't put anything back there since that weird thing I found in my field back in '23.  Took some doin' to wheel it over here, damn near wore out my Kubota because the landing gear was shot, but turns out those things drag pretty well."

"Ummm....what things drag pretty well?"

I get that South Carolina has the collective IQ of expelled spunk, but how does no one see a plane crash into the lake?

Depending on where it crashed, there may well have been no one to see it.  Those southern inland counties away from Charleston have a very low population density, lots of lakes, and pretty much everyone lives in little towns.  

 

[BamaATL 16,593]

They found a debris field near or in Lake Moultrie, which is in Berkeley County, just northwest of Charleston.

And if it crashed into your house/Ford Taurus, call this guy…. The $50,000,000 winner!
