Apparently the government needs help finding it.

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.

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.

So you're saying there's a chance.

"invest in stealth tech" they said 

"it'll be worth it" they said

i'm fully aware but I did  is wrong  @Raptorpat   I did not have a good day and and I'm just being an asshole.  That does does not give my reason to be an asshole or be ableist with something I complain about which I was. @discolé monade  thank you for calling me out

i'm sure the marine will have some things to go through. 

they'll have to get a medical check, (he survived, so he's lucky, not so many are, and suffer severe injuries, if not death)

then they'll have to go through a series of  psych evails,  and the investigation. 

the fact that 'mishap' was in the story, tells me that the pilot more that likely went through g-loc. and freaked, because the plane was left on auto-pilot.

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.

Did they try using OnStar yet?

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.

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

In all honesty, I'm guessing that there is no way to add any sort of remote control option to their planes because someone would figure out how to hack into it. 

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? 

[viperxmns]

Heard it crash landed 

So there goes $100 million

[rpgamer]

Did it crash in the ocean?

Can we send a couple more billionaires down to look for it?
