From the article...

“According to the report, the pilot of the F-35C jet was able to save himself by ejecting and was recovered by a military helicopter.”

I’m fairly certain the Navy wouldn’t use a helicopter to recover the ejected pilot from the aircraft carrier’s deck.

My comment was a Hultgreen reference. Ejected into the ocean, not over it.

Don't take it personal, but you are a 100% wrong. When a person goes overboard and the ship is doing ~30MPH+, they don't wait for the ship to come to a stop to deploy a liberty boat to pick them up..
