The Case of the Disappearing Tattoos
ejected accidentally? No one here seems to know how many ways one can get shot out of an F35. But every plane I know anything about requires an overt, intentional, and pretty firm jerk on a ring, lever, knob, handle, etc. And the jerk ring is always located so that one has to go out of the way to reach it. Not something you would grab accidentally in normal flight operations. Some planes require a first, separate, step to blow the canopy to get it out of the way.
Senate embraces "Fetterman Fridays."
AI, for the win!
That’s some high dollar, supercalafragilistic gear right there. But I’ve flown a glider, no engine, no radio, nothing but a compass and altimeter, and a sandwich, farther than this thing made it. My wingman towed me up and left me there. Please send 80 million dollars over and I’ll show how it’s done. The whole F35 thing would be funny as bleep if the implications weren’t so severe.
Is that a room full of Reagan Air Traffic Controllers who’ve never skipped a lunch?
Welcome, I love this stuff.
“Soon after the incident there were stories around about the software that runs the F35. The OS is shared with other mil aircraft and Airbus. Claims that it was open to vulnerabilities have been around for a while, they said.”
I work with a very smart guy who worked on the F-35 back in the development/testing period. All software driven. If everything isn’t exactly right, you couldn’t even fire it up.
Don’t know if they’ve changed that, but as long as it’s software driven, it’s a disaster or series of disasters waiting to happen. Especially if it has Chinese chips or it “talks” with other F-35s, which means it’s hackable. I can’t imagine that it’s not also susceptible to EMP - ground-based (aimed EMP weapon), nuke-based, sun-based, or even lightning-based.
A hazard for all fly-by-wire, although they are hardened against lightning lest you be unable to fly in most of the US during the summer.

There are other things talked about but you will find the UN stuff in there.
All the Voice comms/nav landing aids/data coms/ID surveillance systems have to be enabled, turned on. If they are off they are off. Somebody who admits punching below min altitude is suspect, but if there are no emissions there really isn’t much to track.
***Joe Bitem probably doesn’t know what an F-35 is...

He probably thinks that it’s an addition to the Baskin-Robbins 31-Flavors Ice Cream line...

Thank you. Saved by all those “bad” countries!
Thanks! I haven’t had time yet. My To Do list is tormenting me.
Is it possible to subscribe without paying and having to put CC#?
Wow, did they forget the real Fettermen had tatoos?
