    I was in the Air Force, stationed in Drambuie, on the Barbary Coast. Used to hang out in the Magumba Bar. It was a rough place. You would count on a fight breaking out almost every night. I didn't go there that night to fall in love; I just dropped in for a couple of drinks. But suddenly there she was.

    It hit me like a thunderbolt. I had to ask the guy next to me to pinch me to make sure I wasn't dreaming. I was afraid to approach her, but that night, fate was on my side. We laughed, we talked, we danced, I never wanted it to end and I guess I still don't. But enough about me. I hope this hasn't been boring for you...

Fishing around between his legs for a dropped phone maybe?
    Interesting detail, the F35B (none of the others) has an automatic ejection provision since it’s the VTOL version. Something about the reaction time that close to the ground in that type of flight mode being the difference between a successful ejection and being a greasy spot on the ground. “Mishap” is pretty vague, could be that the plane got sick of being called a fat, overpriced pig and ejecto seato cuz’d the pilot.

    I'm sorry, Dave. I'm afraid I can't do that.

    Seriously, if a plane's AI sees the stats on military plane crashes re equipment failure vs pilot error, 10/10 that computer is throwing the meat in the seat out.

    Those pretty white planes with red strips and curtains, that look like a big tylenol?

    The pilot ejected because someone unplugged the runway lights.

    It sounds like Nashville, but with fewer cowboy hats and not all the hype.

    I've been in a lot of places, but when my gf at the time bailed on a trip to Charleston, I took full advantage of the absolutely incredible offerings that week and a half had to offer with a centrally located AirBnBnasty. I think only Argentina beats it in the woman department, and Charleston beats Argie for food, by a km.

    Shut your ears and book the flight. Now is a great time, so is March.

    Off the record, the DoD LOVES when the pilot dies because it’s way easier to blame it on pilot error when nobody is alive to defend themselves than to admit that maintenance sucks.
