    I’m gonna need some context or I will assume Dinkelberg took it.

        Yeah, so, why did the pilot eject, if the plane was still flight worthy?

          It wasn’t flight-worthy, it just hadn’t crashed yet. If your jet stopped properly responding to controls and you had the opportunity to eject and probably not die rather than crash and almost certainly die, what do you think you would do? Also if it lost power, it would still fly for a bit because momentum and airfoils and physics and such, but not be transmitting its position because no power, which makes it kinda hard to track because like, y’know, stealth aircraft

    Wasn’t it a Marine Corps 35?

      Correct, it was an F-35B flown by a USMC pilot out of MCAS beaufort.

        Interesting, isn’t the bravo model the Navy variant? I thought the C was the VTOL?

          A and C are non thrust vectoring variants, the B variant is the VTOL

            Thanks! I’d forgotten, it’s been awhile.

    The transponder not working isn’t a bug, it’s a “super-stealth mode” to hide from both your enemies and friends!

      No spies can reveal your location if no one at all knows where you are!
