“How in the hell do you lose an F-35?” Rep. Nancy Mace asked.
Personnel on Monday were still searching for an F-35 fighter jet that went missing on Sunday after its pilot ejected, according to a statement from a South Carolina military base.
“Teams continue to search for the U.S. Marine Corps F-35B, using ground and air assets,” Joint Base Charleston posted on Monday afternoon.
The base is coordinating with local Marine, Navy and Air Force personnel to find the stray plane, according to the base.
“We appreciate the support we’ve received from our mission partners and every organization involved, as integrated teams are searching and preparing for the recovery of the jet,” the base wrote.
