WTF

 

Nothing really changes with cars and car crashes.

 

Don't drink and drive.

"How much have you had to drink?"..."YES"

F-35 Can’t Be Found After Pilot Ejected
The USMC F-35B may have traveled in a ‘zombie state’ after the pilot ejected, leaving its whereabouts unknown.

We’re working with @MCASBeaufortSC to locate an F-35 that was involved in a mishap this afternoon. The pilot ejected safely. If you have any information that may help our recovery teams locate the F-35, please call the Base Defense Operations Center at 843-963-3600.

It's 10PM, do you know where your jet is?

That aircraft is maybe way too stealthy for its own good...

This is often a concern when an aircrew ejects -- where is the aircraft going to come down?

We had an F-4 at Tyndall while I was there that had a main fuel line rupture during take off and caught on fire. The pilot would have been well within his rights to eject right then -- F-4's that catch fire have a tendency to explode. But he knew that if he ejected, the aircraft, which already had flight speed, would have been more than happy to takeoff without him and probably arc over into Calloway, Florida. So he opted to stay with the plane and try to get it to the Gulf of Mexico. He got airborne and turned towards the Gulf, but now couldn't eject because the aircraft would likely go down in the middle of base housing. Finally the plane made the decision for him by running out of fuel (it was all pumped out down the side of the number two engine). The canopies came down in base housing, the aircrew on the edge of base housing, and the aircraft hit the beach (fortunately, at that time of year, there was no one there) and disintegrated out into the water. The largest pieces they recovered were the main landing gear struts.

I was at the base hospital that afternoon (don't remember what for, just some appointment) and the pilot was just getting released and picked up by his buddies. I overheard him say, "Yep, when it's 8 am and you've already crashed an airplane, you just know it's gonna be a long day."

Debris field found in search for missing F-35 in South Carolina, officials say

Officials said the debris was found in Williamsburg County some two hours northeast of Joint Base Charleston, which is now handing off command to the Marine Corps.

Two 'driving' hours is about 70 to 100 miles away from the base. "The pilot ejected and parachuted safely into a North Charleston neighborhood".

That plane was making a run for the border.

Stubborn gringos ... anything but metric ...

 

Wingsuit skydiver in France decapitated by aircraft's wing moments after jumping from plane: reports

​

But as the plane caught up with the skydivers, the left wing struck Galy, decapitating his head, the publication reported.

Galy’s body landed in a field after his emergency parachute opened.

And the odds of success (dying doing that what you love) are high -- probably the highest -- for that particular sport.

Production. P-51 "Mustang" fighter planes. Wooden wheels are attached to a P-51 "Mustang" fighter plane, so it may be moved around the ramp at the Inglewood, California plant of North American Aviation, Incorportated. When it is ready for flight tests, regular landing wheels with rubber tires will be substituted. This plant produces the battle-tested B-25 "Billy Mitchell" bomber, used in General Doolittle's raid on Tokyo, and the P-51 "Mustang" fighter plane, which was first brought into prominence by the British raid on Dieppe
