U.S. military officials are searching for a missing F-35 jet after a "mishap" caused its pilot to eject on Sunday afternoon.

Joint Base Charleston said on Facebook that the aircraft was a Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II belonging to Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort. The pilot ejected safely and was transported to a local medical center.

The base is working with Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort to help locate the missing aircraft. Emergency response teams have been deployed to find the jet.

"Based on the jet’s last-known position and in coordination with the FAA, we are focusing our attention north of JB Charleston, around Lake Moultrie and Lake Marion," Joint Base Charleston said in a statement on Facebook.

"The public is asked to cooperate with military and civilian authorities as the effort continues," the base added.

Anyone with information about the jet's whereabouts is urged to contact JB Charleston Base Defense Operations Center at 843-963-3600.

Seriously now, did the Pilot see where the plane was headed ? Did it get stolen by EBE's ???

To the tune of “Car 54 where are you…”

“F-35 where are you?”

Joe Biden said I’d need an F-15 to fight the government.

Bet he didn’t expect me to rustle up an F-35.

Maybe they should put the F-35 on a quart carton of milk.

{{{snort}}} You forgot Californicatia and the far left coast.

I was taking its range into consideration, but I admit California was my first thought.

Pilots need to keep an apple air tag on them “just in case”.

The Marines still have nuclear hand grenades, and very strong arms.

It is harder for people to admit to being fooled after they finally realize it.

Unbelievably pathetic....and why would a pilot reject from an aircraft that continued to fly.
