Had an older friend who was in the Mississippi national guard. Their motor was “don’t go anywhere without a case of miller and a deck of cards”. They shoot howitzers at camp Shelby. Apparently they shelled a chicken house once due to a 180 out screw up. The other screw up was dropping a military jeep in the wrong place. The parachute and sled were recovered but the jeep was never found.
I’m sure only parts of this are true.

I was on an FTX at Shelby one night back in 1992 and we took incoming. Woods were exploding around us at 2 in the morning. Went on for about 5 minutes before someone realized they’d fricked up and ceased fire.
Luckily, everybody adhered to their training and was hugging dirt and nobody got hurt.

We're on page 5 and y'all are still talking about a missing pilot

Does that mean it’s still flying out there alone?

Maybe the pilot left his phone on board and they can just use the “find my iPhone feature”

They do but they do not have transponders - most strike aircraft do not

This is the story that keeps on giving
This is some Top Gun Maverick/The Right Stuff shite.

Radio chatter said the pilot ejected at just a few thousand feet above the ground, with last radar contact a few miles northeast of Lake Moultrie. The pilot made it out safely, and then showed up a few miles away in a backyard of a residential neighborhood on South Kenwood Drive in North Charleston. The weather was horrible at the time he ejected.

He put it on autopilot and ejected??
This he, she, or it's flying career better be over.

The part about how the pilot “placed the aircraft on autopilot” then ejected is.. interesting.
Can these things really continue flying on autopilot with no canopy? I mean surely that fricks with the aerodynamics right?

Not if it identifies as still having a canopy. It's the science.
