They probably turned it in to a transformer that later angered its ancestors and required him to use his kozuka to prevent dishonor.

Bummer... Did he bail? No trackers on pilots? Can a flying plane simply turn off it's radar? Lockheed Martin? Did China really get to him. Sketchy stuff. So many questions.

Lots of crazy stuff with planes this year, I'll tell ya...

If the pilot ejected and his ELT located in his seat survival kit (SSK) was installed properly, search and rescue were on the way tp him within half an hour.
