I would surmise the plane had some issue or was telling the pilot it had an issue. One that guaranteed a fireball upon landing. Set autopilot for spot out to sea where the plane doesn't take out 3 schools and a church. Get a favorable attitude for ejection and punch out.

The weird thing is, you'd think it would squawk 7700 the whole way once ejection happens - alerting everything that might track it to do so or transponder etc but if it went into the Atlantic at speed - there might not be much to find/survive?

They find the location of where the battery died. There's no guarantee that the phone will be there. 😉

OK, help me with this. I understand the radar signature not showing anything, but the military has to track the plane somehow - transponder; something. Unless manually over-ridden or part of the failure, why is that not being picked up? If it did crash, there isn't a signal provided? How, was that turned off too? Are they really wanting us to think that these planes just show up in active military bases and land? No sign of any activity once they are out of sight and just show up" here we are". As has been stated, 2+2 isn't computing.

Emergency beacon goes with the pilot upon ejection, I believe.

Here's and article from "The Drive."

It is still flying?

By Pilar Briggs, Steven Ardary, Patrick Phillips and Emily Johnson
Published: Sep. 17, 2023 at 4:57 PM EDT|Updated: 1 hour ago
NORTH CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCSC) - U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace says it’s not clear whether an F-35 jet missing since what Joint Base Charleston called a “mishap” is still in the sky or has crashed.

Mace said she was briefed on the ongoing search for the jet by the U.S. Marine Corps, which Joint Base Charleston said began after a pilot safely ejected on Sunday.

“And guess what: They didn’t have any answers. They don’t know if the plane is in the air or under the water. They could not tell me the precise location of where the pilot ejected or where the pilot landed,” she said.

Mace, who represents the First Congressional District, said she asked for a separate briefing with people who would be able to provide answers, adding that she has received “a lot of phone calls” from local leaders who she says are “frustrated with the lack of transparency and the lack of information.”

“And we’re talking about an $80 million jet. How does it just disappear? And how does the Pentagon ask for the public’s help in finding it?” she said. “It’s just a huge embarrassment.”

The incident involved a Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort F-35B Lightning II jet from Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501 with the 2nd Marine Aircraft Wing, according to public affairs specialist Jeremy Huggins. Huggins says the pilot was safely ejected and taken to a hospital where they are in stable condition.

“But quite frankly, this is a local emergency. We don’t know where the plane is, we don’t know what direction it went, we don’t know what direction it was flying and we don’t know if it’s still in the air,” she said. “And so it is a public safety issue and the public deserves answers.”

The Republican said that if the plane is still in the air flying and ends up going down in a heavily populated area, lives would be at risk.

“Now if the plane was flying over the water and crashed in the water, then obviously not a public safety issue, but the problem is, the $80 million question is, where is it, and if the beacon or transponder device within an $80 million brand new jet doesn’t work, what else doesn’t work and how much money has been invested into this program to see a jet like this fail for whatever reason.”

They can track a Grandma with a mask on, that took a walk in the Capitol building, back to a trailer park 700 miles away 3 months later from a grainy security video, but can't find a jet even knowing the flight path?

Take a look at my post from about four hours ago. That answers some of your questions. 😊
