- It looks like the intriguing mystery about the missing F-35 may finally have been solved.
- The plane went missing Sunday after the pilot had some sort of a “mishap” with it and ejected out of it to safety. The pilot is in stable condition at a local hospital. What the “mishap” was has not yet been explained. There also was a problem with the transponder, which contributed to the difficulty in finding the plane, plus it’s designed to be visually hard to find to begin with as a stealth plane, according to the Joint Base Charleston spokesperson.
- Now, it looks like they may have located the plane because they’ve found a debris field about two hours northeast of Joint Base Charleston in the Indiantown area of Williamsburg County.
