There is no way in hell that that whole ship went dead.
A hidden and shielded AT&T cell phone would of tracked it to the floor.

Kind of looks like you’re saying an F35 should know where it is even on a cloudy day? But I have experience. I’m sure I can find a dumbass who could defeat all that geewhiz stuff even without likker being involved. And I think I have current evidence that one did.

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.

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.
