M2 Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 Am I just suffering from being up at 0430 and without caffeine, or has no one posted about this yet? Quote Marine Corps F-35B Has Crashed Near MCAS Beaufort In South Carolina https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/23912/marine-corps-f-35b-has-crashed-near-mcas-beaufort-in-south-carolina An F-35 has crashed near MCAS Beaufort in South Carolina. It is presumed to have been an F-35B belonging to the Marines as the type is stationed at the base. Some reports state the pilot ejected, but this has not been confirmed. UPDATE 10:47am PDT: The aircraft belonged to the resident F-35B training squadron VMFAT-501 and the pilot did safely eject and is being treated for any injuries. The crash happened around five miles from the airfield... (See link for full article) Glad he got out!

HossHarris Posted September 29, 2018 Posted September 29, 2018 Why would you be up at 0430 ? That’s gotta be either a great binge or terrible idea or both. 1 1

I think that's pretty common for the "get off my lawn" types in their later years. That's also why they eat dinner at 1600. 1 1 2
