If you listen to the recording of the EMT when he located the pilot you would understand that the pilot meant he lost sight of the airplane in the weather after he ejected. The statement was in response to the EMT asking where the airplane went.
This has been misunderstood, ballyhooed and promoted as the reason for the bail out. Arm chair quarter backs need to stay in ghe arm chair.
The transmission was not just posted by a meteorologist, it was posted by several. The one I saw and heard was linked on this forum to military.com.
This has been misconstrued and repeated out of context too many times. It really does not bear repeating. We still don’t know why the guy bailed out of a flying airplane. I think he screwed up and pulled the ejection handles somehow. Anybody that was not in the airplane, including me is just guessing though.
“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.
