Stooky 6th Gear April 9, 2019 Share April 9, 2019 Japanese defense officials are searching for a fighter jet off the coast of Aomori Prefecture, northern Japan. They lost contact while it was on a training mission. Japanese Defense Minister Takeshi Iwaya said, "At around 19:27 Tuesday, an F-35A from the Air Self-Defense Force Misawa air base lost radar contact 135 kilometers east of the coast during training." Iwaya said the one pilot on board is missing. Officials say the jet was flying with three other planes of the same model, and there were no reports of problems before contact was lost. The Self-Defense Forces and the Coast Guard have dispatched patrol aircraft and ships to search for the jet. https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/news/20190409_46/ ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

From the video apparently they found an pool of luminous fluid, either the crash marker or fuel leakage, with some parts and debris. All ships are rushing to it now. EDIT: okay they have confirmed it's really from the F35... salvage operations has begun and they continue search for the pilot... Sg gonna spend money to buy 8 of those leh....
