Holy smoke

 

Might as well go look for that nuclear bomb somewhere down there

 

I just saw this on stripes. What happened? Did he get highsided and the bike (jet) ghost ride itself away?

 

$500 reward if found?

 

You think they'd at least put an airtag on those things or something.....

 

First thing I thought of- right next to the Tybee bomb.

Seriously, how could they not know where it went?

 

They at least could’ve sprung for a $25 apple AirTag.

 

When I find it I'm keeping it, always wanted one of these things.

 

The shit it’s made up, carbon epoxy, cf, titanium, unicorn jizz, Sasquatch hair, band aids, the souls of gingers. . . Would that shit show up on metal detectors?

 

It's rather concerning that with all of that technology, they could just lose one of those things.

 

Ask China. They will tell you.

 

A few years back a helicopter crashed while ferrying a NASCAR driver. The h we licopter went into Boone Lake The insurance company hired a local diver to find the motor. It was all magnesium and would not show up on the metal detector. The bottom of the lake is several feet of mud. He got a couple of years of looking for this thing and the last time I spoke with him he felt he was close. Insurance cop was still paying him.

 

I think that is to point of those isn't it? Not be be radar friendly.

 

Was Vic Deakins flying that plane?

 

If that thing landed in my yard, I would turn it into the best redneck firepit and grill anyone has ever seen.

 

No. I think it was this guy....

 

Rumor has it that this guy was the pilot.

 

If that happened...I figured it would have giant ass Dodge tow mirrors added...always out of course....37" mud tires with deep offset rims so they stick out past the wingtip....a confederate flag and no fat chicks sticker on the fuselage.

They call it the R35.....R for Redneck




You'll know if some hillbilly does get a hold of it. Just watch the dodge forums for someone asking how to make an F135 engine "roll coal brother!!".

 

Sounds like MAG 31 lost another bird. Glad the pilot got out. The F18 they lost last month, the pilot wasn’t so lucky.
