Have you tried walking through the parking lot pressing the remote over and over?

The Marines Need Help Finding a Lost Stealth Fighter and Nobody Can Stop Laughing

Sorry.

Was the plane headed inland, toward heavily forested areas, or out to sea?

"There was genuine concern that the autopilot might have been on"

Reminds me of this story:

The incident started as a routine training flight. Colonel Nikolai Skuridin, the pilot, was to fly a MiG-23M from the Bagicz Airbase near Kołobrzeg, Poland. During takeoff, the engine's afterburner failed, causing a partial loss of power. At an altitude of 150 m (500 ft) and descending, the pilot elected to abandon the aircraft and ejected safely. However, the engine kept running and the aircraft remained airborne, flying on autopilot in a westerly direction.

The unmanned aircraft left Polish airspace, crossing into East Germany and then West Germany, where it was intercepted by a pair of F-15s from the 32nd Tactical Fighter Squadron of the United States Air Forces Europe, stationed at Soesterberg Air Base in the Netherlands. The F-15 pilots reported that the MiG had no crew. The MiG-23 crossed into Dutch airspace and continued into Belgium. The escorting F-15s were instructed to shoot down the plane over the North Sea, but as the MiG ran out of fuel, it started a slow turn to the south, prompting the French Air Force to put its fighters on alert. After flying over 900 km (560 mi), the MiG eventually crashed into the house at 273 Doorniksesteenweg, in the town of Bellegem, near Kortrijk, some 5-10 km from the French border, killing local teenage resident Wim Delaere.

China likely has it already. I suspect they got a hold of the ‘high tech’ (meaning GPS) navigation system and spoofed it to one of their many boats hanging out in the Atlantic. Once the pilot realized he had no control of plane (it was basically a remote-controlled drone at that point), he wisely bolted.

Just a hunch, but I base it on the performance of the IDIOTS in charge of the Ukraine War and the fact that something like half of the people working in the design of our high-tech military hardware have Chinese (or at least Asian) roots, as intelligent Americans are too busy going into finance, law, or playing video games.

So I’m guessing if they find the plane 200 miles away, that pilot ain’t ever going to be a pilot again after punching out of an airplane worth $80 million tax payer dollars prematurely.

But no one seems to have seen or heard the thing crash.

Stealth fighter, therefore, stealthy crash. Nobody saw it happen. But it did happen. Sort of like when a tree falls in the forest...

They should just buy a replacement. As soon as they do, they’ll find the old one.

The plane was beamed into a mothership and is now in a galaxy far away.

So, ATC radar no work? Plane grabbed by an alien ship’s tractor beam? Chicoms remote controlling it to land safely in Beijing? Any reports of loud crashes, black smoke, and the smell of fuel burning? Satellite imagery not able to locate it?
