ANCHORAGE, Alaska -- Evidence found at the remote, rugged Alaska site where an F-22 Raptor crashed indicates the pilot died, an Air Force official said Friday evening.

Part of the jet's ejection seat was found at the site, which means Capt. Jeffrey Haney of Clarklake, Mich., could not have survived the Tuesday night crash, Col. Jack McMullen said. Also found were pieces of the flight suit Haney had been wearing.

And just how did the chins detect and shoot down an F-22 from a sub with a beam weapon well over land in the Denali park? My opinion, either avionics problems or situation awareness during low level manuvers played a role. Maybe even G-LOC.

Sick that peope will make up such garbage.

a lazer would be detectable from space and/or AEWCS
(please tell me we still have AEWCS)

Prayers for all he left behind. And I add prayers for the team sent to investigate the site and determine cause.May their eyes be open and may we hear the truth soon.

Very sad.

Used to go to the CP club in the summer back when I worked for them.

Sad day.

“China launched a missile from within US territorial waters last week.”

No, they didn’t, so this is a hoax.

Do you know anyone who has worked with laser weapons that can shout down missiles and planes? I do. They aren’t Chinese, and they were able to do it 30 years ago.

There’s no way a laser beam weapon can be fitted to a sub, imo. Here’s one US platform that has been made public: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/worldnews/article-1250734/U-S-Star-Wars-laser-plane-shoots-ballistic-missile.html

Highly doubtful that the Chinese do have a sub that could be fitted for this class of weapons, moreover it would have to surface to use it — meaning it WOULD show up on some radar and sonar.

This is claptrap.

On the other hand, our CiC is a fraud, a liar, a traitor and evil. I understand why folks are getting nervous and jumpy.

Also — with the Chinese: they are a nation full of “Jonahs”, that is in having very bad luck at sea. They know that. It is a long cultural imperative for them.

Ooof. That’s nasty conditions. This is likely to be one they never figure out the root cause for.

There's a reason why emails are supposed to be posted in chat.

[Art in Idaho]

Sorry about that. Will do in the future.

Thanks for the ping; post. R.I.P. Capt. Jeffrey Haney.

Condolences to family and friend of America’s finest.

[SIDENET]

We still have AWACS, and no, they can’t detect lasers.

[Art in Idaho]

Thanks for the info. You're right about people being nervous and jumpy. With our CIC and appeasement, we are vulnerable. Interesting about the Chinese and "Jonahs".

[ASOC]

Yeah - very limited data to base anything on - too new a platform.

They will do their damnest tho - they owe that to the rest of the fleet and the pilots yet to fly...
