Blink... and you might miss it.

.

The F-35B Lightning II tears through the sky, pulling hard enough to wrap itself in a cloud of vapor—a breathtaking reminder of the immense forces at work during a high-G maneuver. For a split second, the aircraft seems to disappear inside its own shock of condensed air before exploding back into view.

.

Moments like this are why airshow photography is so addictive. You can plan, anticipate, and track the jet perfectly... but nature still has the final say, creating a masterpiece that lasts only an instant.

One pass. One frame. One unforgettable moment.

How stealth is your aircraft?

Well the pilot ejected without turning the auto pilot off now we can’t find it.

The missing F-35B Stealth Fighter was finally found after being missing for 28 hours with the transponder off and the stealth profile making the fighter jet difficult to track.

It was found about 80 miles northwest of Charleston in a rather large hole in the ground.

No explanations yet for why the transponder was off or why the wingman just turned around and went back to base rather than tracking pilotless jet.

Everyone from the Daily Mail to 19FortyFive is questioning whether the absurdly expensive jet is vulnerable to hacking, probably something they should have thought of while developing the plane, not after building hundreds of them.

Reminder: an F-35B costs over $100 Billion each to make, considerably higher than the F-35A or F-35C which cost $70 Billion and $80 Billion respectively.

Development of the F-35 program cost over $1.7 Trillion
