An image and multiple videos of a Lockheed Martin F-35C stealth fighter jet that crashed-landed on an aircraft carrier transiting an undisclosed location in the South China Sea were leaked onto the internet in early February. After an investigation, the US Navy charged a handful of sailors for leaking internal video footage of the incident.

That carrier pic is inverted.
Who has a carrier with an angled deck to starboard? The ones I’ve seen all have an angle to port—if they have any angle at all!
Russian Military Drones to Use Cellphone Data Traffic to Track Targets The “Leer-3” system can tap into cell phone base stations, analyze data flow to geographically locate a specific cellphone subscriber by their device’s signal, and then bomb targets, if required. The system can track source signals irrespective of whether or not the phone is turned on, Russian media claim.
Here some things we can focus on
It missed all the other planes on the deck
No one was killed
We tried real hard and we’re still dear friends.
Im guessing they were charged because it was a female pilot.
Maybe that's why the pilot crashed. (He zigged when he should have zagged.) ;)
The Nips had a couple with the island on the "wrong" side in World War II.
FYI my darling *Tailhooker*. :)
Smartphones? They should be locked away when out to sea.
It was a chick.
I’m guessing it is “raw” footage off the crash video.”accident video” orientation doesn’t matter for a quick glance.
My son landed at full speed one time as his flaps wouldn’t go down. He caught the hook, tho, and was OK.
Is this known, or is it a guess?
Well, let’s see. They gave the guy who went AWOL from his combat position and met up with the Taliban mostly a pass. Obama traded him for five Taliban generals. He should’ve faced a firing squad.
Let’s see what they do to these guys. One was an officer.
It’s on the internet, and the USN won’t release details on the pilot. So somewhere between 0-100% reliable.
I wouldn’t be surprised if a FReeper actually knows the truth.
Many have sons/daughters in the military.
I’ve looked through numerous sources and can’t find concrete anything.
I met one of the SEALs tasked to retrieve Bergdahl.
He got shot and they killed his dog...
Really don’t care if it was a chick. Women make damn good pilots. I was taught to fly by a couple. What I do care about is if the pilot was a less than competent affirmative action flake from a protected class
“Women make damn good pilots. I was taught to fly by a couple.”
I don’t think they do. Never met a good one. They tend not to know details and use bravado as a feign of competence.
And it sounds like the other four were Chiefs. Oops. They f***ed up.
