More on the American F-35 combat warplane recently crashed in South Carolina.

"Marines under fire for flying $80M F-35 over SC during thunderstorm when report shows jets CAN'T handle storms: Pilot ejected due to 'bad weather' before jet 'flipped', flew 100ft above trees in 'zombie mode' and crashed in field"

"A F-35 jet could have crashed on Sunday due to poor weather in South Carolina, new audio suggests - as questions mount as to why the disastrous training exercise was allowed to proceed. The F-35B Lightning II which the unnamed Marine pilot was flying is believed to be at risk of malfunctions if it flies in thunderstorms"

From the "Daily Mail" | ^ | 9/20/2023. The tip from Freeper.

The problem with the crashed F-35 NOT due to hacking. Difficulty as the subject of a prior blog entry the F-35 susceptible to complications and possible crisis when flying in the vicinity of a thunderstorm.

Further from the "Daily Mail" article:

* "A Marine flying a F-35 Lightning II ejected on Sunday only 1,000ft above ground" * The F-35 kept flying for around 60 miles before crashing in a South Carolina field" * "Questions are now being asked as to why the training exercise was carried out" * "The plane is at risk during thunderstorms and there was bad weather at take off"

See and read the entire Mail article the crashed F-35.

As previously stated, hacking not to blame in this instance. OBIGGS rather at fault:

"The issue lies within the F-35's OBIGGS (Onboard Inert Gas Generation) system, which pumps nitrogen-enriched air into its fuel tanks to inert them, preventing the aircraft from exploding if it is struck by lightning."

OBIGGS not [?] a system unique to the F-35. Other aircraft including commercial also equipped with OBIGGS.
