So this is how the Pepsi guy got his jet plane?

Damn, you beat me to the Pepsi joke. Not only am I not original but I'm not original in a userbase the size of Lemmy.

This is strange. It almost makes me think the scenario was an elaborate ruse to capture an F-35:

  • get an inside man to mess with the avionics
  • including turning off location telemetry
  • simulate a failure that requires an ejection
  • fly the plane into the ocean using autopilot
  • recover via submarine

Couldn't have been that advanced, if it doesn't even have a GPS tracker

Hey man, we've lost nukes that we're never found, this is just another hunk of junk at the bottom of the ocean.
