There's still a search. Yes, there should be something pinging something with their exact location. It would save lives. Super gay to focus on the word ping when it's the concept that matters but I guess not everyone can think for themselves.

ONE flight hour costs over $11,000, wtf

Why bother encrypting the location if any adversary worth worrying about can just triangulate its radio signals? Fucking educate yourself before spouting off like a nigger.

Before the expensive boondoggle of the F35 Raptor, there was the Osprey's nearly as-expensive boondoggle of trying to re-invent the concept of a helicopter. The test craft quickly developed a nasty reputation for crashing and killing everyone on board. And as you can see, they never quite worked that bug out. Decades later, men are still dying in pursuit of justification for the money spent on this vehicle.

It flies faster than a helicopter, god.

115 mph faster than a Chinook. Worth every trillion!

Have they checked one of those online flight trackers?

The pilot was probably texting

That plane costs more than all the taxes you’ll ever pay in your lifetime, myself included. Hell, one cruise missile probably costs more than all my paid taxes in a lifetime. It’s not worth getting exited over in that perspective.
