    Marine Corps team has been scouring the Lowcountry searching for the F-35B Lightning II fighter jet after its pilot ejected Sept. 17 and surfaced in a North Charleston neighborhood.
    Dude definitely went on a bender and woke up forgetting where he parked it. It’s probably in a residential carport somewhere outside of Charleston

    Solid theory.

    The amount of gorgeous women in Charleston could make you so drunk you forget where you parked the Corp's $80MM advanced stealth fighter.

    there might be something to this. It WAS the marine corps variant of the F35 with the vertical takeoff/landing capability so it legitimately could have been set down and backed into an apartment complex's carport. Helluva way to show up to a tinder date, id say. Hoorah marine!

    Yeah, Pratt engines are crap, so that's probably the best use for one.

    The cornfield bomber is my favorite ghost ride plane. In 1970 a F-106 pilot ejects, plane goes on until it runs out of fuel then glides to a field. "Any less damage and they could have flown it out of the field". After repair the jet returned to service.

    Isn't $80MM really cheap for a fighter? Was this the four-banger version? Cloth seats?

    I was thinking the same thing. I’ve seen it quoted as 100-135 mil.
