I would say it was 'delivered' to CCP most likely by our MIC non-patriots
Amazing High Tech Military can't find it's own Top Tech Jet on own Territory
does gps tracker not work on it? there’s way more to this story.
They have radar reflectors on routine or training missions
Somebody hacked it.

Actually, that is transponders just like an airliner. Military uses Mode 3/A that report altitude and identification to Air Traffic Control, unless they are flying in reserved military practice airspace.
They are claiming they found the debris field now.

All the peeps who were braying about stealth being a non-thing are eating a massive crow now. :D
Apparently the transponder didn't work, and neither did the plane since the pilot ejected. That's some grade A tech there.
Joint Base Charleston said in a statement that searchers who had been looking for the missing warplane located the wreckage in Williamsburg County, north of Charleston, but stopped short of confirming it was from the missing jet.
They “stopped short?” What? That hardly “ends the mystery.” And, why stop short? What’s causing the confusion? Was the evidence completely burned up into ashes like in Lahaina, or did the jet self-destruct or something? What’s stopping the Marine Corp from identifying the wreckage of its own plane? ...
They haven’t explained why the pilot ejected from the plane. According to reliable sources, a Marine pilot would never have ejected from an operational aircraft absent orders to do so. ...
The accident’s description of the software glitch was terrifically provocative: It sounded like the plane was trying to take over and fly itself:
As they prepared to land, the pilot felt a “slight rumbling” of turbulence from the wake of the aircraft in front of him, the report said. The bumpy air caused the F-35′s flight controls to register incorrect flight data, and the jet stopped responding to the pilot’s attempts at manual control.
The pilot tried to abort the landing and try again, but the jet responded by sharply banking to the left. Further attempts to right the aircraft failed, and the pilot safely ejected north of the base. His F-35 crashed near a runway at Hill.
How curious. I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t land the plane right now.
I could see if it was flying a few hundred feet off the ground under total Emmissions Control on a mission, but on a flight in the US?
Furthermore, there were TWO planes on the mission. The wingman didn't not the time and place of the bailout, and then they could calculate the trajectory of the plane from there?
More to this story than what we're being told.
