Yeah, so about that F-35, we found the jet, but there's a couple things about this story that

just don't feel quite right to me, and I'm about to make a big assumption, and we all know

what that usually ends up being.

Hi, everybody, I'm Bill Little here with Steve Green and Scott.

So your right angle about the F-35 that went missing.

And part of this is in a way almost not cool and somewhat interesting.

So Steve, why don't we start with you on that?

more interesting, Steve. One of the reasons they couldn't find the jet was because it doesn't show up on the radar.

Yeah.

You know, you've got, you've got a highly advanced stealth jet that is no longer, the guy shut down the transponder.

sensors on the F-35 are what

make the f-35 so remarkable it's particularly airframes performance it's kind of a pig they

call it um fat amy uh but um but the sensors are incredible so anyway uh turns off as transponder

and then um all of a sudden we're an F-35 for a day and it took
