F-35 crash in SCS

[lamdo263]

Kind of suspicious there's no video evidence of the 35 going down in the China Sea? There's cameras but of course no plotted exact location of the event.

I've said a few times and to the right people, place a destruct charge over the areas that are sensitive And if any of these models were lost, after the pilot bails out, this charge would go off. Not sure what's going on here but maybe it belongs in the ocean.

Pilot in F-35 was not lined up properly and should have at that point received a wave off by the landing approach crew. 35 probably landed on top of side of ship runway personnel access raceway. That dugout is specially designed that even if the plan lands on top of it, the surrounding structures absorbs the impact and makes killing off the entire ground crew less likely.

Might have been a software or perception glitch of some kind. Too early to speculate. Plane landed with some force and after that spun around going into the sea.

Thanks Mayhem, those were some good links you had. Hard to believe something that expensive based at sea, didn't have a flotation system installed.

They probably have risk based assessments done as well as from years on other aircraft and given the functional fighting capabilities its probably outside of the scope of the whole operation. If one of these go down like in your original post it seems the main objective is to retrieve before "others can get their beady eyes in on the craft".
