That's unacceptable. Heads must roll. The pilot has to explain why was his plane on autopilot and he ejected.

Dusty...Unacceptable is correct. But I'm guessing absolutely nothing will come of it.

If 13 brave souls can die in a cluster fuck of an surrender , whats the big deal about a multi million dollar fighter with cutting edge secret tech?

Therein lies the problem. The F35 is a "stealth" fighter meaning it does not paint much of a picture on radar. It is said that the F35 has the radar cross section about the size of a golf ball.

Even being stealthy, if we can’t keep track of our military aircraft, in our airspace, how can we successfully engage an enemy in enemy airspace?
It strikes me as strange. And that’s why we will never learn the truth about it…

Is there a finder's fee? Asking for a friend.

Have they checked China?

But it should have had some kind of Identification tech turned on in friendly airspace like that. How in hell do you lose a $100 m airplane on your own soil ?

IFF Brother. IFF.

Do they use transponders while routine flying?

Do they use transponders while routine flying?

Yes they do. Required in certain airspace. Evidently the transponder in this aircraft was malfunctioning.
