I'm gonna need some context or I will assume Dinkelberg took it.

Pilot ejected, thing kept flying on autopilot. Military now can't find it. Funny story

They found it, it crashed in SC.

Yeah, so, why did the pilot eject, if the plane was still flight worthy?

[–] treesquid@lemmy.world 16 points 2 years ago

It wasn't flight-worthy, it just hadn't crashed yet. If your jet stopped properly responding to controls and you had the opportunity to eject and probably not die rather than crash and almost certainly die, what do you think you would do? Also if it lost power, it would still fly for a bit because momentum and airfoils and physics and such, but not be transmitting its position because no power, which makes it kinda hard to track because like, y'know, stealth aircraft
