Critics Aren’t Buying Story Of Why Pilot Ejected From $100 Million F-35 Fighter Jet Before It Crashed—Here’s What They’re Saying

Some scuttlebut on Telegram:

Pilot was on a false flag mission, but did not cooperate, and foiled the FF. Possible nuclear, possible aircraft was DEW-equipped, possible destination was NO.

[Da Coyote]

This retired military pilot doesn’t believe a word. And, if we had competent journalists with a modicum of IQ, they’d be expressing the same opinion. This story stinks so much, it HAD to come from the septic tank formerly known as the Pentagon.

[UnwashedPeasant]

Random tweets by goofballs on Twitter now qualify as news.

They should quote FReeps instead.

[Carriage Hill]

” “And it was kind of probably 100 feet above the tree tops and almost going inverted.””

Would the pilot have ejected right into the ground, upside down when he punched-out... huh?

The Chinese spy baloon that flew over the U.S. early this year was tracked over the base in South Carlina the F-35 took off from before the baloon crossed into the Atlantic. Was that baloon not only receiving electronic signals, but sending them as well??

[Drew68]

In 2019, concerns were raised by the Pentagon of the possibility that the F-35 could be hacked.

Time to drag all those old Tomcats out from the boneyard.

At least they can't be hacked.

[MNDude]

Probably fake, but so is the official story:

[Red Badger]

I assume that when they saw it about to crash, he had been long gone...................

[ProtectOurFreedom]

It is really fishy that only one photo of the crash site has emerged. I saw a different photo a couple days ago, but cannot find it now.

The photo below (from a site called "The Southern Gazette" with a ".ca" domain, no less) is the purported crash site. It is mighty small area, no burned trees, and all debris cleaned up. A large fighter jet with a large fuel load only left that small amount of damage in the forest? Yeah, right.

[Carriage Hill]

I hope he bailed long ago, before the F35 “inverted”. Otherwise, he’d be a simple stain on the forest floor.

[Red Badger]

It does seem to be unconvincing, to say the least......And I can fully understand the need for a ‘cover story’..................

[Red Badger]

Or on a tree trunk...................

[logi_cal869]

Well, if they were to do a FF, it would stand to reason to use a stealth aircraft with its transponder OFF.

I haven’t seen anything about the pilot navigating a military range, so there’s no excuse for flying without a transponder in commercial airspace.

[Gunslingr3]

He had a higher chance of getting hit my lightning when ejecting

He probably weighed that against the 100% chance of dying when the uncontrolled jet smashed into the ground if he stayed inside.

If lightning disabled the Lightning II, we're probably not going to hear about it anytime soon.

[Red Badger]

That’s as good as any (better even!) that they come up with.....................

[Gunslingr3]

” “And it was kind of probably 100 feet above the tree tops and almost going inverted.”” Would the pilot have ejected right into the ground, upside down when he punched-out... huh?

That was citing someone near the scene of the crash, 80 miles away from where he ejected.

[ConservativeInPA]

That pic could be any one of thousands of clearings that people have made for firewood or possibly shooting lanes for deer hunting.

[anton]

Blancolirio or Dan Gryder will sort this out on youtube shortly I venture.

[pfflier]

The plane, at that point, was about 80 miles+/- from the pilot’s ejection.
