A $100 million dollar stealth fighter jet is missing after the pilot safely bailed out. Is it in your backyard?  Sarcastic

How the hell does a jet go missing?

Is the military banned from using Apple Air Tags?

I dunno . . . just the name seems to be a perfect use and application for this product.

Could be radar wasn't set to the proper "diversity and inclusion" settings . . . for such a unique aircraft.

I can't help but wonder why a 100 million dollar jet doesn't have some kind of GPS that can be tracked. That's just a thought, because really, WTF do I know.

I dunno.  

If it sends any signal, it kinda defeats being stealth . . . as, therefore, it can be tracked by anyone.

Seems like a perfect exercise for AI.  Crunch the "numbers" of altitude, speed, direction and environmental factors (to name a few) and reconstruct possible crash site locations.

Unless the math is racist . . . and AI hasn't been coded with proper sensitivity programming.

I haven't seen it.
But I did see a long line of starlink satellites the other night.

It took them 24 hours to find that jet.

I have questions.  Dramaqueen

It bothers me a lot that a pilot ejected and the jet flew on, just continued flying into the wild blue yonder. Luckily it didn't crash into a community for fucks sake.

I'm so surprised! I've never viewed you as someone who would puff a little weed.

Allegedly . . . allegedly . . . AI is also capable of flying this jet . . . without a human in the cockpit.

It is unlikely the military or manufacturer would reveal this fact.

Who knows?  Maybe it was AI that malfunctioned and ejected the pilot.

My guess: The official cause will be "pilot error".

If not, Lockheed Martin is on the hook and our new Gen 5 jets will be out of service.

Here's a fairly short essay written by Major General Smedley Butler, the most highly decorated marine at the time of his passing, and two-time recipient of the Congressional Medal of Honor.
