    Hope the pilot is ok. If they know where it was when it went down, they shoud be able to find it. A locater beacon on the seat shoud be active if the pilot got out.

    It seems strange that a plane like that could just disappear.

    Of course, logic dictates the guvmint knows more than is being reported.

    It was in Alaska. Lots of open land and bad weather.

    The F-22 Raptor is a stealthy aircraft. Disappearing is what they do.
    Gonna make it that much harder to find, though.

    My prayers are with the pilot and with those who search for him and the plane.
