Postulating / hangar-flying here ...

South Kenwood Dr is about 3 blocks EAST of the approach to Charleston (CHS) airport. (landing from the north). If I read correctly, the pilot was found there after ejecting.

*IF* the aircraft had departed controlled flight at speed and altitude (software failure) then the ejection could have been extra violent from a tumbling aircraft going 350+ knots. Pilot might be in rough shape; otherwise a hospitalization is SOP after an ejection. (well it used to be)

*IF* the flight departed from the USMC field in Beaufort, headed roughly NE, then the plane could have been at considerable altitude flying over CHS (as a navigation waypoint) on its way to a range farther north.

*IF* it nosed into the swamps southwest of Naval Weapons Station, Joint Base Charleston, (which is just NE of the CHS airport) then ‘they’ might never find it. That muck is DEEP. It’s like that flight down in FL that had a fire on board and flew at speed into the muck of the Everglades. I don’t recall it ever being found.

Probably near a Chinese 'freighter'. Which is fine as long as the Biden family gets its 10% cut.
