OTOH, they have C-130's storm chasing a/c going into hurricanes. A 100 million fighter can't?
Was he instrument rated?
Don’t those planes fly themselves?
Horse hockey - he may be disciplined and booted, but it ain’t happening in a matter of three or four days.
It’s not like I know anything about the military or piloting fighter jets, but this doesn’t sound good. OTOH, is he good about using the right pronouns?
We are not getting the full story here. But I bet it isn’t flattering to the Air Force.
The plane is probably in China by now.
You don’t own that plane, son, the taxpayers do!
The entire first paragraph is BS. He didn’t eject because of weather. His job, once he punches is to take care of himself, not track where the airplane goes down. The crash survivable flight data recorder in the aircraft should be sending pings as to its location.
In 6 months we'll likely see reference to "pilot error"....
Someone said the other day that it was probably a woman pilot and the check engine light came on! Bail! Bail now!
She could have just done what I do. Put a piece of black electrical tape over the light so it will not bother you.
Problem solved!
It’s much like turning up the radio if a weird sound is coming from beneath the hood while driving. If you can’t hear it, then it is not a problem.
Problem solved!

Lemme guess: Rain drops appeared on the canopy while some diversity woketard was flyining Fat Amy. It got all skeered and bailed out.
I suspect this is a diversity pilot.
Aren’t these the planes that can’t be flown in bad weather because they can’t handle a lightning strike?
This is all BS.
I have no idea what really happened. But this story sounds BS.

This is worse than not hearing any more about it
He couldn’t locate the left turn indicator.
Ejecting due to bad weather?
Lots of pilots fly successfully (in less capable aircraft) in very "bad weather", as a common and manageable occurrence.
I include myself here.
The tracking part of the story is a minor secondary, the big question is why the pilot ejected.
One suspects that there might be much more to the story.
