    Booster downs F-35

    It is alleged the Navy pilot received a COVID booster the day before and had a myocardia attack and was attempting to land on the Vinson. Several people on the deck were injured when the plane hit the ramp and broke apart. The F-35 pictured floating in the water is a British plane from a year ago.

    The LSO is in critical condition.

    You will not find this info in any news media.

    News reports are saying it was gravity.

      They cost between 100 and 200 million. That's a lot of tacos.

          Do you mean CBS, ABC, NBC, CNN, WSJ, NYT, etc?

          If you look at the picture all of the above reputable printed, you will see a British F-35 that is intact except for the missing canopy and ejection seat. It crashed on takeoff and the US aircraft hit the ramp and broke up, sinking immediately.

            A U.S. aircraft (flown by a Brit?). A Brit F-35 that is intact except for the missing canopy et.el. What crashed on takeoff? How many people ejected? Anyway, we lost an expensive and tech heavy plane. Big freakout that the Chinese will find it and in their nefarious ways use our techknowlogy. It ws reported that they don't care about our jet. Well, that's good...and bad. And good.

              You're missing the point. Reread the article. The AMERICAN F-35 broke up and sank. They wanted a picture of an F-35, and had a Brit aircraft on file.

                The aircraft photographed in the water clearly has US markings on the vertical stabilizer.

                We can accept you're ignorant of this, but Red too? Seriously starting to question the Naval Aviation background.

                  how far with this plane take us?

                  all the way to the scene of the crash,




                  meanwhile a brief googly search says the plane often pictured is the one that crashed,
                  and the UK lost one in the Med in the middle of last Nov,


                  also mentioned a lot of issues with aircraft (fixed and rotary) on the Vinson

                    The Information I posted came from a pilot I flew with in 1970?s. His grandson is now a pilot in a different squadron on the Vinson. In his words, the F-35 made a triple nickel break and called the ball. The LSO waved him off and the pilot replied in a garbled manner but it was too late and the aircraft hit the ramp and BROKE UP. Pieces of the plane hit the LSO?s station wounding several people. He also added that the pilot involved was a first tour pilot attempting something he was not prepared to do.

                    The pictures I saw didn?t have any readable markings and was certainly not broken up. The Brit F-35 stalled on launch and would be intact.

                    If RKT questions my aviation experience, I would offer my Aviators Flight Log Book and my DD214?

                      This picture appeared approximately 2 days after the incident in the South China Sea. The same unauthorized photo was also confirmed by US Navy public affairs only after it went viral. It hit hard, but stayed intact enough to allow the pilot to eject. It injured 6 on the flight deck before it hit the water.

                      Markings are not United Kingdom.

                        not doubting you RED, I was actually looking for pics and could only find the one RKT posted, which said the Navy confirmed it was ours, (which I take with a grain of salt,,)



                        I found an article on the British plane in the Med,

                        that pic is at such an angle that I cannot see the markings on it at all, so it just looks like a F35 in the water,


                        hopefully we (The US) can get it out of the water , pieces or whole, before the chinese do

                          Photos of F-35s on the Vinson are gray all over and the radar nose cone on the one in the water is white.

                            The premise, as I understand it, is that a pilot was in the cockpit 1 day after the booster? I know a lot of people on shot #3 and pretty much everyone knows to empty their calendar on the day after. Did the Navy not get the memo on this?

                            Or is this a deal where there are 3 ways: right/wrong/Navy?

                            Just how many F-35s has the Navy sunk then?

                              photo's of the F-35's on HMS QE are all gray as well,

                              I think the white you are seeing on the nose cone is the water ,
