Update on the F35. Anon has a contact that worked on the F35 project. Anon reached out for comment from said contact. Here is what they told me:
>They are not supposed to fly once the pilot ejects
>So it should be really close to the location where the pilot ejected
>When the seat comes out the programming goes with it
>It erases all of the data on the aircraft and basically "declassifies" it to nothing
>The transponder must have been off
