I’m amazed he survived and was totally coherent.

Well to be fair, once you pull the ejection handle you have more things on your mind than where the plane is going.

I imagine his head was a little “cloudy.” Ejecting from a jet has to “ring your bell” a bit.

Isn’t 47 a bit old to be flying an F35?

What we should be talking about is the $1.7 trillion spend on the F-35 program and why so many are grounded.

He sounded relatively calm and lucid on the 911 call.

Confidence in the military is plummeting rapidly. It would helpful if the whole truth were told about this incident. However the truth is never told in these stories and “journalists” have absolutely no interest in really learning anything. The rot is pervasive and it stinks.

'If the jet is stable in level flight, the jet will attempt to stay there. If it was in an established climb or descent, the jet will maintain a 1G state in that climb or descent until commanded to do something else,' the Marine Corps said in a statement.

'This is designed to save our pilots if they are incapacitated or lose situational awareness.'

Does it need a human pilot or can autopilot give the command to "do something else?" Because a 1G descent or a 1G climb run out of air eventually, in different ways.

Some 13 y.o. hacked into the plane and flew it around a bit from his living room PS5.

“ Confidence in the military is plummeting rapidly. It would helpful if the whole truth were told about this incident.”

Maybe they are and maybe they aren’t. The real trouble is that we can no longer tell when they’re lying. In fact my default position is that they’re lying about everything all the time.

That makes confidence impossible.

And that is not a good situation.

I’m of the opinion the plane was hacked. The hacker ejected the pilot and who knows what the intentions were for the plane. The story is so full of spin, it will be a long time before we know the truth…if ever.
