Probably Wrong
Doesn't(may not) ship to Australia....... Pretty sure we've got some. Would have been cheaper to buy them on EBay.
Yeah, but this one is probably in a box after a "shovel recovery."
You ever get the feeling the news and government lies thru thier teeth.
My shiny metal butt "they need our help to find it"
Ahahhahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha
Pull my other finger, this one has sprinkles. I promise*

Just so no-one thinks I am some sort of communist infiltrator, I was on nuclear submarines which could actually disappear.

They should staple some flyers up on the local utility poles with the tear-off phone numbers in case anyone finds it.
Put it's picture on milk cartons.
They found the debris field

If you see the jet, don’t try to approach it. Just call the owner. It’s probably very confused and frightened, and we don’t want it to run away and hide.

Good to know. We're going to pretend we don't know that........

Have they tried walking around the area and rattling its food can?
That's what happens when you take an F35 off its' leash.

Maybe he should have turned it off and back on again before ejecting...

Did they jiggle the handle? Sometimes you just gotta jiggle the handle.
Or include it with the missing children's pictures at Walmart.

How long have you been in Budapest? Three days? Well, you've probably driven past it at least half a dozen times.
You can always count of The Bee for a good laugh.
Fighter jet lost in South Carolina.
24 hours later Bubba comes out of the woods with a new BBQ.

What's the number? I'll call it from my phone and you can listen for the ring tone.
For some reason I'm hearing the start of a joke about it in Johnny Carson's voice. "Did you hear about the F-35 that the Air Force lost? It's true; I pilot ejected over South Carolina, and now they can't find the plane. <Insert punch line here>."
