The F35 is a feel good NATO project where every NATO country gets to make a piece of the jet. They’ve been caught sourcing alloys and components from China. Who know what crap is in it. Basically it was designed because no one could afford the F22.
If this story is the official story I'm calling BS.
F35 is partially disassembled in cargo container on a ship headed to China.
The deep state wanted to give them one as a technology gift and this was the best way they could explain a missing aircraft. Crash site is secure. Nobody allowed to view it or corroborate it.
I have ZERO trust in my government, and ZERO trust in our press to investigate.
Speculations by a real pilot - entering severe weather could / will destroy any aircraft regardless of design / cost. A severe turbulence, hail, icing, lightning strikes and heavy precipitation could destroy cockpit glass, freeze flight control, knock out avionics, shutdown engine or cause catastrophic air-frame failure. If you look at ATC traffic, civilian airlines were turning around, but it appears this pilot decided to "punch through" the weather. (I'm guessing since no flight path was released to the public). Decision making process to proceed into shit-weather would probably be the root-cause of this.

Thousands of aircrafts fly every day through bad weather. Planes literally fly into hurricanes. They are designed for bad weather. Wind shear is about the only thing that will take down an airplane.
I shouldn't look here for info, but elsewhere I see the F 35 is buggy. The story is the oxygen system malfunctioned, but that doesn't explain why no dive to below 10,000 feet. Even if hypoxic the pilot should awaken. So there is another story that I don't quite believe. I'm an old tail dragger pilot.
WAIT. I know information is developing fast, but, this info comes from the investigation phase here were asking him if he kept the jet in sight after ejecting.
They were at slow speeds. They were practicing low speed VTOL approaches at 2500'. He ejected. Then lost sight of the plane...
Counter to this? The jet sure went a long ways from the ejection site

What’s her name?
All the reports I've read say it's a he, but I don't know if that means an adult male or a female taking testosterone and pretending.
I had the same thought. She was probably recording a TikTok, looked up and saw the trees. Panicked, ejected, left cruise control on.

This is where we are now.
Before they lose power they gave away our weapons.
You're just making shit up with no evidence though.
Why would the Deep State want to give shit to China? China and Russia are the chief opponents of their global hegemony, it's not even secret.
They want to lose power?
Because the Deep State isn't on Team America.
You haven't been paying attention to anything, have you?
Thats how it works when you dont trust the uniparty bud.
80 million and no wipers?
Good thing we only fight wars in good weather, we might be in trouble otherwise! /s
was the weather better on the ground?
It was sunny af blue skies that day over SC.
Ok, so why didn’t the other plane flying with it get equally impacted?
There was a JAG episode set in a similar area about stealing a plane.
Probably the F-14 on those shows.

"Bad weather".
The most expensive aircraft ever made can't fly in the sky if the weather is "bad"?

And? It took over a day to find?
Yet another story that makes less sense than it promises. We need Dan Gryder.
Diversity hire. I guarantee it.
Must be a woman pilot.
Yeah he compressed his spine for rain.
The lightning 2 cant handle lightning?
Fucking KEK!
TBF I'd be afraid of flying that turd in a sunshower after all the problems it's had.
How long before they blame that bad weather on climate change?
Gen-z pilot?
Ukrainian pilot getting training ?
Forget Top Gun, this Maverick is more like Hot Sun, peace I'm out
🤡🌍
FFS...
Small arms ground fire is bad weather
Don't fuck with SC
