WrittenWeird,

Considering it is apparently a federal offense to tamper with aviation debris or accident scenes (assuming the plane looks intact) absolutely nothing, call local cops, they call AF.

WarmSoda,

Oh boy, aren’t you the life of the party

It’s a Marine F-35B and likely crashed into a lake.

sin_free_for_00_days,

ba dum tss!

vettnerk,

Claim 10% finders fee and retire.

theKalash,

Hotbox the cockpit. And this would only be the 2nd time I hotboxed the cockpit of a fighterjet.

lettruthout,

Story time! Details please!

Deestan,

It means they snuck in and farted the cockpit green right before the pilot came to fly it.

theKalash,

No, I smoked a joint in it :)

It had no engine, see the other comment.

Deestan,

I was just trying to confuse everyone for a few minutes before you had time to answer. 😇

theKalash,

Ha, I thought nobody would ask. It probably will be quite a disapointing story though, sorry.

Anyway, I was on holiday in Slovakia and basically, they just have old sovjet jets sitting around. We visited a very small “airport” (the runway was grass) used for skydiving. And they just had a MiG-21 sitting behind the building. No fence or anything. One of the Skydiving company staff said I can sit in it, if I want. So I did. He didn’t come with me or anything. It was also out if sight from anyone on the airfield.

Apperently this isn’t unusual at all and these planes are just sitting around in random fields as “decoration”.

Here’s a googlemaps link. I sat in that one!

Dadifer,

So did you smoke weed in it, or not?

theKalash,

I did sit in the cockpit smoking a joint with the canopea almost closed. For a minute.

Blizzard,

Ok, that’s what hotbox means! Even better than farting, now it’s an awesome story man!

I believe farting would make it a dutch oven.

You’ve just given me a goal, except the only place I know with airplanes laying around is a museum. I’d feel bad hotboxing a plane in a museum.

theKalash,

I’d feel bad hotboxing a plane in a museum.

Yeah, don’t do that. To be honest, I didn’t even close the canopea fully, I worried about not getting out. I sat on the wing for most of the lenght of the joint.

But It sounded much cooler this way.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA,
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

I could call up my acquaintance with a cessna, but he doesn’t know I smoke. He’s a little too, uh, mormon for that conversation.

theKalash,

a cessna

That’s not a fighter jet.

Just visit eastern Europe.

There was another plane, I think a MiG-15, that was literally just sitting in the middle of nowhere next to a hayball. We were just driving past it. I tried to find it on google maps, but it was many years ago and I just can’t remember the route … or any waypoint.

HeyThisIsntTheYMCA,
@HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world avatar

I know. It’s close enough. If you’re not flying, a cockpit’s a cockpit.

Blizzard,

That’s indeed disappointing, I thought “hotbox a cockpit” meant to fart inside! Anyway, still a nice story.

theKalash,

I think that’s also a valid meaning, just depends on the context. It’s an ok story :)

JustZ,

Looks like you’re not the only one with this idea.

I’d go to the beach because I am somehow in South Carolina.

Also, I guess call the USAF and report the location.

Maybe they’d give me a ride to the beach as a thank you…

Raxiel,

Since it tricked the pilot into ejecting, I assume it’s gone feral and is still buzzing around looking for a mate. If I didn’t have a big net to snag it in, I’d have to build a wooden decoy or perhaps just leave a paddling pool full of jet fuel out in a clearing. I’d keep my distance at first and try to gain it’s trust.

Lemminary,

I’d steal the pilot SOB’s glasses. So long, sucka! Nice half a jet you got there, corpse-looking bastard. haHAA

jacktherippah,

Call Kenny Loggins.

Alexstarfire,

I’d stare at it and touch it. I obviously can’t fly one so it’s not much use to me.

I’d take a picture cause no one would believe me.

I’ve got like 50h in flight simulator, I’m sure I could take it for a spin, what could go wrong.

Alexstarfire,

First thing you do is hit the eject seat button.

Lolman228,

Invade Serbia

echodot,

Me? I would defect to Ukraine and really weird them out.

CobraChicken, (edited )

I discover the crashed F35 in my lone walk in the woods. As I start to take it apart for parts, a woman catches me. She tells me to stop. It’s her father’s business. She’s Lockheed. I say no. We make love all night. In the morning, the feds come and I escape in one of their uniforms. I tell her to meet me in Mexico, but I go to Canada. I don’t trust her. Besides, I like the cold. Thirty years later, I get a postcard. I have a son and he’s the chief of FBI. This is where the story gets interesting. I tell Lockheed to meet me in Paris by the Trocadero. She’s been waiting for me all these years. She’s never taken another lover. I don’t care, I don’t show up. I go to Berlin. That’s where I stashed the F35

mindbleach,

Spirit Halloween.

aesthelete,

Trade it in for a boatload of pepsi points.

Is it wrecked or perfect?

If perfect: I’d totally try flying it. Probably crash, but it would be worth it to see how good all those flight sims where I’ve flown an F-35 stand up to reality.

Pons_Aelius,

Is it wrecked or perfect?

The pilot ejected...so the first one.

Kolanaki,
@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

Scrapping it for parts. Though I’m not sure how to get in contact with black markets that would want the weapons. 🤔

The hard part isn’t getting in contact with them.

It’s doing so without also being tried and executed for treason
