An Air Force pilot and his stealth fighter assigned to Elmendorf Air Force Base in Alaska went missing Tuesday evening. The F-22 Raptor was on a routine training mission when it lost contact with air traffic control at 7:40 p.m. Alaska time.

More like big area and rough terrain. Also it happened last night and I would guess there was little searching last night in the dark.
It turned out that the A10 pilot was an in-the-closet homo ...
You’ve been reading too many sci-fi/thriller novels....
The F-22 can fly anywhere, at any moment, limited only by fuel.
Rivet Amber, Rivet Dandy, Rivet Ball, Cobra Ball...
Its probably a cold weather issue, icing maybe, they will probably find the pilot cold but alive, its not really really cold yet.
My first thought exactly. Furthermore, if it is found to be in the hands of a foreign government then engage the self destruct.

Limited by fuel is the equation.
I still think its an overly complicated aircraft...as usual.
The more you have in technology the more the chances of the gremlims attacking.
I just found this;
"The Alaska Air National Guard said the missing plane was flying with another fighter, which also lost contact with the jet."
Maybe it just decided to get uppitdy??

We lost a good friend this way, and I had the same hope. But then, if he were alive he would have set the whole mountain on fire.
Awful.
None of the B-29s that wound up in Russia were flown by traitors or nutjobs.
Well if we start selling f-22’s to some or all allies next year, you’ll know the truth of the Alaska story then.

My brother lives in Palmer. He keeps bugging me to come visit, but I think it’s cold!
They do show up on RADAR and that's no secret. The Air Force has conned a lot of gullible dupes into believing that they don't.
