I dunno, if you are constantly send a stream of GPS data, that is a data stream (presumably over some manner of radio waves that could be tracked). If the signal could be received and the encryption cracked, then the recipient could read the gps location data, but that isn’t necessary to track the transmission and locate the aircraft. Doesn’t seem like a feature I’d want on anything I was flying… | |||

If they want help finding it, then it would be nice if they’d at least tell us what color it is. | |||

And even if the data or tracking or whatever, can track it to within a mile or so, that last bit could be tricky, especially if it really did hit water. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

That’s true, it’s a marine jet. They should be able to follow the line of melted crayons to the the final resting place, lol. | |||

Could this be a possible defection situation? Nothing about the story seems to make sense, I’m now reading that the pilot purposely put it on autopilot and then ejected? | |||

AI ejected the pilot. Now HAL has an F-35. _______________________ “The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals.

The Air Force has lost a few nuclear bombs over the years; what's an F-35 compared to that?  _________________________________________________________________________ “A man’s treatment of a dog is no indication of the man’s nature, but his treatment of a cat is.

Yeah. Our son just Apple Direct Messaged (or whatever you call it  ) my wife saying they found it 2 miles from his house. He lives in Hemingway, SC. He said the whole area's kind of swampy & the SC game wardens have all the roads blocked off.------------------------------------------------ "It's hard to imagine a more stupid or dangerous way of making decisions, than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

I was in the Marines back in the 60's. Back then they had a saying that went something like: Lock a Marine private in a windowless room with three anvils. Come back a couple hours later and one will be broken beyond repair, one will be pregnant, and the other will have disappeared completely. ------------------------------------------------ "It's hard to imagine a more stupid or dangerous way of making decisions, than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong."

No, that was another pilot, different airplane. I think his co-pilot was Som Ting Wong, Nav might have been We Too Lo. ______________________________________________________________________ "When its time to shoot, shoot.
