What happened to F35 of Japanese airforce?

[war&peace]

No deflection. Am just pointing out the real intent of this thread which is your feeble

Ooops, so we are dealing with a super-human with divine powers to know the intentions though totally incapable of holding a rational discussion and has his head deep in the sand but still knows the intention..

The F-35 is something the Russians and the Chinese wish they could make.

Yes , Russian-Chinese conspiracy... and you win again

April 17 (UPI) -- In the months before Japan's first F-35A stealth fighter jets crashed in the Pacific Ocean, the country's air force made seven emergency landings of the aircraft, Defense Minister Takeshi Iwaya said.

The Japanese air force began using its fleet of 13 F-35As in January, and on April 9, the first plane off Mitsubishi's assembly line crashed off northern Japan.

Speaking during a news conference Tuesday, Iwaya said the seven precautionary landings each happened before the end of February. Of those landings, seven involved aircraft assembled in Japan and one assembled in the United States. The plane that crashed made two of the emergency landings.

Iwaya said a pilot made one landing in response to a cooling system warning light and another pilot made a landing due to a navigation system problem.

"The technology on board the F-35 is highly classified," Iwaya said. "With cooperation from the U.S., we would like to take the initiative in thoroughly investigating the causes while gaining cooperation from the United States."

Though the Japanese coast guard and U.S. Forces Japan suspended their search for the missing pilot from the April 9 crash, the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force search was underway.

"Though U.S. search and rescue efforts have ended, we will continue to coordinate with our Japanese partners on efforts to locate and recovery the missing aircraft," U.S. Air Force Col. John Hutcheson told Stars and Stripes.

Japan grounded its fleet of 13 F-35As in the wake of the crash.

It seems the problem might lie in the quality control or the software. I'm wondering what happened to the pilot because they are hiding the info. Did he survive? Did canopy open and did he eject successfully from the A/C

IMO- He didn't survive

 

[war&peace]

IMO- He didn't survive

I think so too but they should be open about it. It raises questions about the safety of the pilot. Did the ejection fail?

 

[MastanKhan]

That's a cover up to fool others. See they claim pilot was not found...so where did he or his body go?
Remember, 5th gen. F35 is touted to provide a lot of freedom & safety to the pilot...a lot more than any of best 4th gen A/Cs. Furthermore, no image of the wreckage is shown
I would say show me the wreckage

Hi,

Most people think that as the aircraft hit the water---all of it would be found---.

In the 80's when I went to school in Ogden ut---next to the Great Salt Lake---once awhile---many an F16 would crash into the lake and never be found---.

What I learnt was that at the speed of crash when the aircraft hits water---the force is like hitting a brick wall---.

A static picture of wreckage... will reveal its coordinates? how ?


No pilot, no wreckage..

Hi,

It has been obliterated---.

Hey,
I do understand that water acts incompressible at such high speeds but not more than the ground so it shouldn't be damaged more than then MiG21 or Su30 of IAF shot down by JF17 of PAF.

Hi,

So it means the pilot did not get the chance to eject?
