    The US appears to have 'lost' an $80m F-35 airplane

    Seems a little odd, no?

    It dropped into a lake, imo. How are you supposed to clock that?

    Just a little odd, that the fella ejected and the transponder went off and it just flew along on it's merry way. I'm not suggesting some mad conspiracy theory, just a bit odd.

    Plus why didn't the other pilot track it?

    You're quite right, I'm being facetious.

    To be honest I suspect the other pilot was too busy watching for his mate's parachute to open to track where the broken one went...
