More information:
* The wingman stayed with the open chute.
* The mishap F-35C was on autopilot when the pilot ejected, and the aircraft continued on in level flight.
* The transponder of the mishap aircraft was not functioning, so the zombie aircraft was not tracked on ATC radar.
Wow!
I wonder if the software ejected him?!?!?
Flight continued??? OMG
And yeah, domestic air traffic control radar would have like ZERO chance of getting a skin paint off that aircraft.
The mystery deepens.
I find this fascinating. I wonder if the entire flight path was entered, or just heading, altitude and speed.
Movie worthy at this point.
