After reading the bit on Fox news, seems to me they might want to be looking at the bottom of some lakes?

Evidently auto pilot was still engaged when the pilot ejected and transponder is offline.

Gotta laugh...or you'll cry. Our modern "woke" military at work.

I had the pleasure of being involved with the build of F35 center wing in Marietta Georgia . I was in production control . The average Joe has no idea how complex these birds are . And the capability is off the charts . Same for the F22 .
But when complex goes wrong bad things happen . Fortunately bad things don't go wrong often . Never want to lose even one . I am very proud to have been a small part of the F22/F35/C130/C5 programs . And to support the brave men and women of our military . You know the woke ones 😳 . Of course I am kidding , defending our nation is serious business 24/7 and 365 days a year . I never take that lightly . |

Heck, I have airtags on my luggage. We could velcro one under the dash.
Just shocking the multiple systems and backups do not allow constant tracking. gary |
