A US Marine Corps F-35B Lightning II jet was lost yesterday after a training mishap.
"The debris was discovered two hours northeast of Joint Base Charleston," officials from the base said in a statement emailed to Insider.
A single F-35B jet costs about $80 million, depending on its weapons configuration, The Washington Post reported.
On August 24, an F/A-18 fighter jet crashed in San Diego, California, killing its pilot.
The F-35B is not the first fighter jet to fly pilotless after its crew ejected, Insider previously reported.
