NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. - Authorities found a debris field Monday from a Marine Corps F-35 stealth fighter jet that crashed in South Carolina after the pilot ejected and parachuted to safety.
The debris field was located in rural Williamsburg County, according to the Marine Corps’ Joint Base Charleston. The field is about two hours northeast of the base, and residents were being asked to avoid the area while the recovery team worked to secure it.

Exactly. Why would anyone believe the “official explanation” these days? I tend to think there’s a false flag incoming.
Cpl. Christian Cortez, a Marine with the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, said the details of what prompted the pilot to eject from the aircraft Sunday were under investigation.I am sure if the Lance Corporal was asked, all said he would have said was he didn't know anything and it is under investigation. One more reason that I hate journalists. I hope the Lance Corporal didn't get in trouble.
Belonged to the McConnell AFB Aero Club getting my Private Pilots license and on my 3rd solo flight just approaching the pattern at 1500 feet from Red Wing Airport in Agusta Kansas the prop froze . Called the tower declared and emergency stating I was a student pilot on 3rd solo and I was coming straight in on the east to west taxi way to land NOW . The tower deployed the crash trucks and the flight safety officer and he tried to say that is a closed taxiway to not use it . I told him gravity is in charge sir .
Turns out that taxiway was reserved only for PNAF birds (primary nuclear air craft) the delivered Titan Missile’s warheads to the bomb dump which I was well aware of being a FNG EOD tech the taxiway I saw in front was about a few hundred yards away.
I saw more sky cops than I did firetrucks as I set down perfectly not even bounced once . Security Police didn’t give a damn . They surrounded my Cessna 172 with peacekeeper armored vehicles and as I was turning every thing down they snatched my ass out and down on the taxiway cuffed me before the crash trucks and flight safety officer could tell em what was going on .
Not as sexy as a SR71 story ...... but mine .... :o)
Stay Safe !
DUDE !!! I glad You landed safely and I’m glad they didn’t shoot You !!!
Maybe if You had followed Your “gravity is in charge sir.” With “I have an Order of new Miniaturized Devices being delivered to your location.”
Maybe they would have been nicer to You. I doubt it but it would have been worth a try.
LOL
