I mean I assume it crashed, but if I find that thing, you better believe I'm keeping it. No more pos Honda Civic for me. I ride in style. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discolé monade Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) Sept. 18, 2023, 4:46 AM EDT / Updated The jet was left in autopilot mode when the pilot ejected from the aircraft, so there’s a possibility it could still be airborne, Jeremy Huggins, a spokesman at Joint Base Charleston, told NBC News over the phone.

katt_goddess Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 The missing plane is in my mystery closet right now. Prove me wrong but I'm not pulling you back out if you go in there. You'll just have to live out the rest of your days eating Smurf Berry Crunch and Mr T cereals with Mr. Tumnus. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to be doing aerobatics or aggressive flight maneuvers to experience g-force loss-of-conciousness. There are instances where auto-pilot has over corrected, causing the plane to pitch up or down at extreme angles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperxmns Posted September 19, 2023 Share Posted September 19, 2023 How much fuel does this thing have but like are they stupid for not having some method built in of guiding the plane remotely or do they not have a system in place for other security reasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And forget Russia. How would you like for that one kid that lost his mind because his mom deleted his Warcraft account to decide to screw around and hack a fighter jet to shoot the mom-mobile? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
