On Sunday afternoon, it was announced an F-35 fighter jet valued at an estimated $100 million was missing.
The US Marine Corps announced that the pilot of the F-35 had safely ejected from the jet but asked for the public’s help in locating the missing $100 million aircraft.
Collin Rugg of Trending Politics shared a video showing the location of the crash. Along with the video, he wrote:
“The debris field of the F-35 jet has been released after it was located in a field in Williamsburg County, South Carolina.
The crash site was about 80 miles from Joint Base Charleston, South Carolina.
The F-35 fighter jet appeared to run through a group of trees before crashing down in the field.
In 2019, concerns were raised by the Pentagon of the possibility that the F-35 could be hacked.
It’s still unclear what caused the crash…”
The identity of the pilot flying the F-35 fighter that crashed in a field in South Carolina has not been revealed, but what has been revealed is his story about why he ejected from the $100 million US Marine jet only moments before it crashed.
A South Carolina couple claims that they saw the F-35 flying over their home just moments before the crash, and according to them, the fighter jet was “inverted.”
“Our kids always give a little salute, so we said, ‘Look at the plane. Oh my gosh, it’s so low,'” Adrian Truluck said. “And it was kind of probably 100 feet above the tree tops and almost going inverted.”
According to the New York Post– the pilot claimed to have lost the plane in the weather — and likely bailed out before he could activate its tracking system, sources and experts said.
“He’s unsure of where his plane crashed, said he just lost it in the weather,” a voice can be heard saying of the pilot on a Charleston County Emergency Medical Services call posted Tuesday by a meteorologist.
The unidentified pilot landed in a North Charleston residential neighborhood and was taken to a local hospital for treatment.
,He has since been discharged.
Unfortunately, very few Americans have much confidence in his story.
Here are just a few of the responses to the pilot’s story that appeared with Collin Rugg’s tweet:
Michael Wilson @sirmichaelwill had this to say about the pilot ejecting from the $100 million aircraft because of bad weather:
Yeah, this whole story doesn’t add up. What aren’t they telling us?
The response to the pilot’s story by Pedro @ElCapitanTweets is brutal:
He had a higher chance of getting hit my lightning when ejecting.. poor decision making. Doesn’t pass the smell test. He doesn’t need to be back in the cockpit and needs to be behind a desk if a little thunderstorm scares him.
Unreal.

An F-35, pinnacle of aviation tech, outsmarted by… weather?
Either Mother Nature just upgraded, or they truly believe we’ll buy any story they sell.
And that pilot’s sense of direction? Probably uses a sun dial in the cockpit.
Astonishing!

Keep in mind we are in the era of woke quotas, so unfortunately there is no guarantee the pilot was actually qualified to even fly the aircraft so there’s that
Paul Hookem shared a hilarious image reminding everyone how ludicrous it is that the US Marines were asking for help to find their $100 million fighter jet:
And finally, Lior Sela @liorsela, who claims to only live two hours away from the alleged crash site, had this to say:
I don’t buy it. I live 2 hrs away from Charleston, SC and the weather was perfect.
Clear skies and sunny

The thing was hacked that is why the military grounded all of their planes for a couple of days.
They would of never grounded planes because one plane went through bad weather.
What do you think? Do you believe the pilot bailed because of bad weather or is there more to this story?
Re: 8 - LOL!!!
Lost *it* in the weather, or *lost it* in the weather?
Regardless, who would have thought that lightning of all things could be so stealth it could disappear in the weather? People might go crazy by overthinking it.
With everyone in search of the missing lightning, or busy making memes, these dayz are paradoxically Biblical:
Matthew 24
26 Wherefore if they shall say unto you, Behold, he is in the desert; go not forth: behold, he is in the secret chambers; believe it not.
27 For as the lightning cometh out of the east, and shineth even unto the west; so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
28 For wheresoever the carcase is, there will the eagles be gathered together.
And in the PNW they've got fish spillage to deal with.
Re: 28 - Logic and reasoning left the barn a long time ago for many, many posters.
Actually sounds more plausible than what they have told us.
I think it was jetjacked by the chicoms and by the time they realized it was already over Taiwan.
A perfectly qualified McDonald’s cashier flying a $100 million fighter jet. Nice.
But it is curious there are NO photos of the crash site.
There are thousands. Why would DOD release them?
Tgat site was close to the public within seconds of the crash
I suspect it was pilot error and the pilot was either a minority (black), female, queer, lesbian, transgender or a non-binary.
The people in charge at the White House and Pentagon are hell bent on remaking our society into the fustercluck of their dreams and they will allow nothing to stop “progress”.
“ The militia did it! “
I wonder if it’s well-regulated militia.
Remember when Senile Joe threatened gun owners?….
“Biden says gun owners would need F-15s and nukes to take on the US gov’t”
I suspect if an F35 was used as target practice from a .50, we will see .gov trying to ban them shortly…..maybe it is time to hurry up and add to the collection.
Good catch
This stinks to high heaven! With all the military age men crossing our borders freely without ever being vetted, etc. or looking into their luggage we are beginning to see devastation after devastation. Why do I get that gut feeling that those illegal Chinese military men roaming our soil so freely were on the ground jamming the cockpit systems in that jet. Don’t laugh…Do y’all remember when two navy ships rammed into oil tankers? And the Pentagon finally blamed the incidents on the ships computerized Dash electronic control board which were manufactured by a Chinese chips company in china. Do you honestly think those balloons that were flying over our most sensitive military areas came from all the way from china across the sea? If you think that I’ve got some beachfront in Arizona to sell you. Folks the ENEMY IS already in our soil …they along with the muslim terrorists and the cartels from around the world, are going to destroy this nation from the inside. I’m predicting all hell will be breaking loose AFTER the presidential election! Pray that the Lord takes us home before all these animals, along with the DC swamp, completely demolish our nation, conservatism, and our freedoms. The America, we once knew does not exist anymore. The people in authority in this nation hate us they hate America they hate what we stand for…plain and simple they despise the American people.
Heck at this point would t the present criminal government WANT an evil militia to have tried a cowardly attack. White supremacy!!!
It’s still unclear what caused the crash…” ummm, the pilot punched out???
so the Lightning, is allergic to LIGHTNING... is that it???
feh
It would have to be damn well-regulated if its members can fire a 50 caliber rifle basically stright up from within a swamp with tree canopy at a low-flying fighter jet, and score multiple hits.
The whole militia narrative is, as our beloved, honest, POTUS would say, malarkey.
They grounded the planes for mandatory safety training.
Was that baloon not only receiving electronic signals, but sending them as well??
Now that’s a thought!
But but but Blinken told us the Chinese balloon was harmless.
Have always considered that whoever was the dimwitted boob that typed this into Obiden's teleprompter has no idea of of what he's done.
A. That he slammed the door on dealing rationally with the civilian population, regarding a non violent end to democwats.
B. That if the Pentagon ever sent an F-15 out to nuke an American city in rebellion, there are not enough political zampolits to protect everyone even tangentially connected to the mission.
Research the term "fragging."
