If a plane is on autopilot, it will continue to fly until it runs out of fuel and gravity takes over. depending on the F-35's range and/or how fuel it had at the time of ejection, it could've kept flying for quite awhile. This has happened before, most notably with golfer Payne Stewart's plane. This also assumes no other mechanical issues, at which point you have to ask why a pilot would bail out of a perfectly good jet.
When this occurs, the normal response is (ironically) to scramble fighter jets to meet up with the ghost flight, and if necessary, shoot it out of the sky to prevent it from crashing into a populated area.
I was reading some new details about how a couple in Charleston saw it flying inverted and pretty close to some trees, so I guess that could've been some mechanical failure happening in real-time? This whole story is bizarre.
I stopped at the stop sign prior to the needed right hand turn that Google had just screamed at me only 50 yards earlier. As I was approaching the stop sign Google was extremely helpful by counting down as to how many feet it was until I reached said stop sign... it actually noticed that I still had 50 feet before I were to stop.
I think they found it in my home state, SC, 2 days ago. Mystery solved in the least intriguing way possible: it crashed.
Maybe it was you all along...
I probably shot out some slow-moving mind bullets when I was born, and they finally found their intended target.
😂
That F-35 is one of the last truly free creatures. Godspeed. Maybe we can make a Pixar movie about its emotional journey someday.
Fighter or Flighter Jet
I honestly still can’t believe it. These hoes lost an F-35 like they lost a tube of lip gloss. 🙄🫨🤣

Doesn’t this F-35 have the Google Maps app?
