Albuquerque? Is that a freaking Breaking Bad reference?
how do you make a plane fly again? no I don't work for boeing
how do you make a plane fly again?
"Again??" --Boeing Execs
I think we need to give the engineers who designed and built the F-35 the benefit of the doubt in this case. It's entirely possible that the Marine pilot was distracted by malnourishment from a lack of crayons and glue that day.
Needing to refuel between Texas and California is an interesting design choice
Skill issue Issue of skill
Wow, a new record flight! The boys down at HQ are really close to cracking this aircraft thing!
Cybertruck with wings.

I wonder if the MIC will call it a pilot error even if it wasn't. Or is there such a thing as an ultra-mini insta-tornado?
swamp gas

People were saying in 2000 that the F-35 was a bad engineering idea. When will the West admit defeat and say goodbye to the 4 trillion that's been spent on this thing?
idk how the fuck you could possibly spend 4 trillion fucking dollars on this bullshit
Lockheed Martin? More like Flintlock Shartin
Just one more govt. contract bro, I promise bro, just one more contract and this plane will be combat ready bro, I promise bro, bro
We could have had a roubust space mining and logistics industry with that money. Be on our way to evolve as a species and make a huge dent in scarcity. Instead we decided to revamp the cold war and blow it all up to stay on oil.
Comrade Gravity - at it again!

The f-35 does work, it's just best used as a suicide bomber.
Someone needs to make a mod for Half Life/Black Mesa that makes all the US jets and ospreys crash on their own
