The F-35 stealth fighter missing report came to the fore when the US Army took to X handle and asked the public to contact them and give information on the jet. In fact, the authorities also issued a helpline number for the general public to them any information they have in terms of the missing F-35 stealth fighter. As per reports, the US military are currently searching for a missing F-35 fighter jet, a fifth-generation stealth fighter, after its pilot ejected safely over South Carolina on Sunday afternoon. Joint Base Charleston, an airforce base in North Charleston took to its X handle (formerly known as Twitter) and sought the help of the public to provide any information regarding the missing jet. The airforce is coordinating with the Marine Corps Air Station Beaufort to locate the missing aircraft.
Joint Base Charleston wrote, "We’re working with @MCASBeaufortSC to locate an F-35 that was involved in a mishap this afternoon. The pilot ejected safely. If you have any information that may help our recovery teams locate the F-35, please call the Base Defense Operations Center at 843-963-3600."

Where is the F-35 fighter jet?
As per reports, the F-35 fighter jet suffered a crash and the pilot was found on South Kenwood Drive in North Charleston after the pilot ejected safely. After the missing of the advanced jet, an investigation is underway to find out the reason for what forced the pilot to eject. Reportedly, the planes and pilots were part of Marine Fighter Attack Training Squadron 501, which is based in Beaufort. Now, the question arises where is the missing F-35 jet? Well, the army is currently searching for it, however, a separate US media report suggests that the F-35 fighter jet went down somewhere near Joint Base Charleston. The main problem is that responders aren’t sure where the plane ended up.
The report further quoted Jeremy Huggins, a spokesman at Joint Base Charleston who informed that the jet’s transponder, which usually helps locate the aircraft, was not working 'for some reason that we haven’t yet determined,' adding, 'So that’s why we put out the public request for help.'
