☆ F-35 Lightning II fighter jets can finally fly in lightning after years of dodging storms

A variant of the F-35 fighter jet can now fly in lightning after years of restrictions. Lightning has long been a major — and ironic — issue for the F-35, nicknamed the Lightning II. The 2012 report said "tests of the fuel tank inerting system in 2009 identified deficiencies in maintaining the required lower fuel tank oxygen levels to prevent fuel tank explosions." Advertisement"The system, " according to the report, "is not able to maintain fuel tank inerting through some critical portions of a simulated mission profile. The program is redesigning the On-Board Inert Gas Generating System (OBIGGS) to provide the required levels of protection from threat and from fuel tank explosions induced by lightning."

A F-35 jet has been lost in South Carolina after a training "mishap," officials said Sunday. The US military is now appealing to the public to help find the missing jet. The pilot of the jet was able to parachute away safely and is in a stable condition, officials said. The pilot, who was not named, was able to parachute safely into North Charleston. How is there not a tracking device and we're asking the public to what, find a jet and turn it in?"
