The search for the missing F-35 fighter jet has finally come to an end. After a pilot was ejected on Sunday afternoon, the $80million aircraft had mysteriously vanished. On Monday evening, Joint Base Charleston announced that the wreckage had been found in a field in Williamsburg County, two hours northeast of Charleston, South Carolina.
The military has expressed their gratitude for the help of all the mission partners, local, county, and state authorities who dedicated their time and effort in the search process. They have also asked the community to avoid the area while the recovery team secures the debris field.
Those who aided in the search included the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort, the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing out of Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, the Navy Region Southeast, the Federal Aviation Administration, the Civil Air Patrol, and various state, county, and local agencies.
The pilot was transported to a local hospital and is in stable condition, though his identity has not been released yet.
The F-35 is manufactured by Lockheed Martin and is one of the most advanced fighter jets in the world. This incident happened a month after the remains of a World War II fighter pilot who crashed and disappeared during a mission were identified.
The search for the F-35 has been a long and difficult process. Thankfully, it has now been concluded, and we can all take a moment to appreciate the hard work of all the individuals and organizations who worked together to bring it to a successful end.
